I have found some snippets that you could find interesting and I am wondering about the family connections and who is related to whom.
Only Henri's uncle has been in court to support him. What about the other family members?
Henri's uncle's name is Andre du Toit aged 59yo so possibly 60yo now and born in 1957. He is the maternal uncle so he is the brother of Henri's mother, Teresa and are the guardians of Marli and Henri. It appears that he is married to Sonja du Toit. Sonja was Teresa's best friend at university. Henri moved out to a guest house when Marli moved in as the police were not comfortable with them staying together. .
Teresa had a sister too, whose name is Narita du Toit (54). It also appears that she had two brothers whose names have appeared in the media and are Francois (59) and Heinrich du Toit (61). Two other siblings are Wessie (66) and Leenka (63).
"Since the murders, the whole family has become closer and stronger as a family", Narita said. "The part of Marli's brain which controls emotions was damaged but the analytical part of her brain escaped injury", Narita said. "She has recovered 95 per cent. Marli has even taken to wearing her mum's clothes."

Actually, Teresa seems to have had four brothers and three sisters, as well as her mum, Rika (91) who lives in a retirement home in Kempton Park and Martin's twin brothers. Henri had gone for a brain scan but it was only a spot on his brain.
"Friends spoke of how Henri kept to himself so much that even those close to him battled to speak to him. When asked about the murders he apparently sounded confused and talks in riddles. He talks about the man. There is always the man.

16 April "According to a family friend, Henri had left his guardians Sonja and Andre du Toits home about two weeks earlier because of the enormous media scrutiny. The 20-year-old had reportedly moved to a guest house about 2 km from his guardians house. According to a source the owners of the guesthouse did not recognise him, and the young man told them his parents live in Australia and he was just visiting Cape Town. He apparently regularly bought red wine and whiskey and spent time drinking alone in his room."

This article states that Marli lives with family friends in Somerset West while Henri lives with his uncle Andre du Toit.

I have found these snippets about the family:
Authorities have kept the brother and sister apart since the murders with the exception of one supervised reunion and Henri has been staying with a family friend while Marli is cared for by her aunt and uncle.
Relatives have reportedly hired a member of the legal team who represented British businessman Shrien Dewani, who was dramatically cleared of murdering his bride Anni on their honeymoon in Capetown in 2010.
Marli posted a photograph of her parents and another of brother Rudi on Instagram after she was discharged from hospital
but none of Henri.
Henris aunt
Narita du Toit, who is the
sister of his mother Theresa, told South African weekly You that her nephew was a lovely child who would never do anything to hurt his family.
Ms Du Toit told the magazine that it was possible to tell when a child has done something wrong but with Henri there was nothing (wrong).
There has been much speculation that the family is receiving preferential treatment
due to its extreme wealth, and accusations of bribery and corruption.
There have also been reports that
crucial evidence and/or documents relating to the case were stolen during a break in late last year.
