It's understood the children are caught in a dispute between their maternal and paternal families following the death of their mother.

Speaking on the Clement Manyathela Show on Tuesday, Gauteng Police Commissioner Tommy Mthombeni confirmed that the children were safe.

"The tussle is about the custodian of the children, so those two children which were depicted on the video are linked to the Motsoeneng family."
