The couple was last seen in the town of Mamelodi, in Pretoria, in February.

Last week, police discovered human remains believed to be those of the missing couple in Rust de Winter, in the Limpopo province. So far, five people have been arrested in connection with the case and the weekend, SA’s National Police Commissioner, General Fannie Masemola said it may take a few weeks for DNA tests to confirm the identities of the remains

"I terms of the DNA we will try our best to expedite. But give and take a month to come to the right conclusion. The DNA will take more or less, three to four weeks. We think we will be able to know," Masemola said.
