The duo, Malusi Gift Shima (23) and Ishmael Hlabathi (34), are charged with double murder and robbery with aggravating circumstances.
They were arrested on June 19 in the N12 informal settlement after police followed up on information from a witness to the crime.
Fleischman and Kuhn were gunned down on the N12 Putfontein bridge on May 26, last year, while waiting for assistance after their bakkie ran out of fuel.
The day of the shooting Fleischman and Kuhn, along with two other passengers, identified as workers, were en-route to Benoni from a pig farm in Kendal when the vehicle they were travelling in ran out of fuel.

The victims took the Putfontein bridge off-ramp to park the vehicle and requested help from an acquaintance over the phone.
While they were awaiting assistance, suspects, who it is believed were watching the victims, approached the vehicle and apparently called Fleischman a mlungu (white person) just before they opened fire.
Kuhn was shot fatally in the upper body and Fleischman was shot in the head and upper body.
