It is said that the flames engulfed the woodenstructure in which the boys were sleeping.
According to Stephanie Bentley their family which includes 28 other children in their care, couldn't believe what had happened.
"My daughter cam running into our room saying the wendy house was on fire. Two ladies were already trying to get the boys out, but the whole place came down in seven minutes," said a shock Bentley.
The children, aged seven, nine, and fourteen, has been in Bentley's care for over a year at the time of the incident.
They went to the safe haven after their mother passed away.
“They’ve got a little sister that just turned five last month, and she is the only survivor of this family,” said Bentley.
This incident happened just a day after two young children died in a house fire in Montana, Pretoria, on Tuesday morning.
