Theunissen - Cut off from the rest of the world, with only veld and animals for company, a husband and wife and their four children have spent the past 20 years all alone on a remote Free State farm.
The four children - aged 26, 22, 18 and 14 - have never had contact with the outside world and their behaviour is so animalistic they can't even communicate in an understandable language. One of them walks on all fours, almost like a monkey.
An assortment of healthcare experts have been ordered by the Free State department of health to assess the woman and her children, who are now in the care of the state.
The team has also been ordered to make suggestions about the family's future.
If people came to the farm, the children took to the hills and returned only once the visitors had left.
