Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of former world boxing champion Zolani “Last Born” Tete in South Africa’s Eastern Cape province, according to SABC News.
The suspects, aged 30 and 22, were apprehended on Saturday in KuGompo City following an intelligence-driven operation involving several law enforcement units, police spokesperson Nobuntu Gantana said.
Gantana said police could not provide further details because of the sensitive nature of the investigation.
Tete, 38, was killed outside his home in Mdantsane township on Friday night. According to Reuters, the former champion was arriving at his residence when two armed men wearing balaclavas got out of a vehicle and opened fire.
A 27-year-old woman who was travelling with Tete was also shot multiple times and taken to the hospital, Reuters reported. Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the attack.
