Their arrest comes after a murder on December 10 at Chibini in Nsuze, where four armed men entered a house and opened fire, killing Mandlenkosi Nzaca (58).
The men stole an undisclosed amount of money and three firearms before fleeing the house.
KwaZulu-Natal provincial commissioner, Lt Gen Khombinkosi Jula praised the task team and said this case proved that police would not rest until the perpetrators were brought to book.
