They were driving a maroon Subaru Forester.

SAPS has confirmed that a search for the couple is underway and an investigation has been launched into their disappearance.

It's believed a Whatsapp group dedicated to finding the couple has over 500 members.

I read about this over the weekend, I believe the car has now been found but still no sign of the two kids?
 
There is probably a valid concern, as this is Africa, but sometimes, a lot of the times, there is more to the story and why they are "missing". So many of these missing posts on Facebook, and so many times it is not the first time and drugs involved.

If they found a car.... Doesn't sound good.

Yeah it seems the car has been found in a dam and the bodies are still inside.

Can't read the full article on netwerk24 as it's pay walled but the headline says "soektog na twee maties studente eindig tragies"

I think your version is probably the most accurate. The grandparents are looking for the kids. The parents are angry with them.
