The South African police have arrested four people in connection with the murder of two-time boxing world champion, Zolani Tete, who was shot dead last week. The suspects, aged between 22 and 28, were arrested over the weekend, the police said in a statement on Monday. One of them has been formally charged with murder. Tete, 38, was attacked on Friday evening as he returned to his home in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape. A 27-year-old woman who was with him in the car survived the attack but is receiving treatment in hospital, the police said.
