The cause of death of the three children in the Eastern Cape who fell ill after eating noodles is still unclear. The three siblings died last weekend.

Relatives of the three children are awaiting the post-mortem results to establish what caused their deaths.

The two girls (aged 7 and 11) and baby boy (4-months-old) had been visiting relatives in New Brighton with their grandparents. The eldest child was sent to a spaza shop to buy a packet of noodles, which they cooked and ate.

However, shortly after arriving home in Motherwell, the older siblings complained about stomach cramps and nausea. Their grandmother gave them water to drink but their conditions quickly deteriorated and they were rushed to a clinic.

Sadly, all three children died before doctors could help them.
