Mpumalanga police say a man has been arrested in connection with the murder of Happy Sindane.
Colonel Leonard Hlathi says the 58-year-old suspect was arrested at his home in KwaMhlanga on Tuesday and charged with murder.
The suspect allegedly had a fight with Sindane over a bottle of brandy the night before.
Investigating officer Captain Vusi Mahlangu told The Star the fight at the JZee tavern in Tweefontein, Mpumalanga, started when the man refused to share his bottle of brandy with Sindane.
They stopped fighting when people at the tavern intervened.
Twenty nine year-old Sindane was found dead in Tweefontein, next to KwaMhlanga, on Monday.
He appeared to have been stoned to death.
Sindane rose to prominence in 2003 when he alleged that he was a white boy who had been kidnapped by black people.
The Bronkhorstspruit Children's Court found in September 2003 that Sindane's real name was Abbey Mziyaye and he was the son of a black domestic worker, Rina Mzayiya.
The court found his father was probably a white man, Henry Nick, who employed Mzayiya in 1984. He was born that year.
