Three of the victims were being transported in a small rowing boat and another citizen was using a log when they were swept away by the strength of the waters.
According to Mabalane district administrator, Januário Malalane, two motorboats, one of them from the National Institute for Disaster Management (INGC), immediately began searching for the victims.
