Two more bodies swept away by floodwaters in Msinga, on Thursday, were recovered.
They were part of eight passengers, attempting to cross the low-lying Infenebude bridge on the P17 in eNadi, eMabovini, on Thursday.
Two other people escaped to safety, while six were swept away by flood waters.
Reverend Thulasizwe Buthelezi, MEC of the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA), said on Saturday, the recovered two, are between the ages of 25 and 40.
Yesterday, search and rescue teams recovered the bodies of two females; the first, in the iNadi River (uMsinga) and the other in the uThukela River on the Nkandla Local Municipality side.
