The car was parked in the yard at Jamela village in Bolobedu outside Tzaneen.



"According to the information available at this stage, the two children, a three-year-old boy and his six-year-old sister, went to play next door with the two-year-old girl, and while playing, they got inside a parked vehicle with all the windows closed," says police spokesperson Malesela Ledwaba.
