Pretoria - No South Africans had been confirmed killed in the bomb blasts in London on Thursday, the department of foreign affairs said on Saturday.
"There is no confirmation of media reports that there were four South Africans killed," spokesperson Ronnie Mamoepa said.
Unconfirmed reports earlier on Saturday said that four South Africans had been killed in the blasts.
Mamoepa said the names of a man and woman injured in the blasts would not be released, at their request.
The man from KwaZulu-Natal was still in intensive care, while the woman had been discharged from hospital, he said.
The rush hour attacks on London's transport system killed at least 50 people and injured about 700.
