The Independent Police Investigative Directorate said two Gqeberha police officers appeared in court on Tuesday on allegations of murder.
IPID spokesperson, Phaladi Shuping, said Sergeant Fezeka Puwe (45) and Constable Ayanda Nodolo (30), from Walmer SAPS were taken into custody earlier in the day.
He said their arrest related to an incident on 29 April when the 28-year-old deceased driving a VW Polo reportedly refused to stop at a roadblock.
A high-speed chase ensued during which shots were fired at the car before it came to a stop.
“When they opened the door, they found the deceased in the driver's seat, with his head on the steering wheel.
“The victim was declared dead on the scene,” Shuping said.
He said the matter was reported to IPID for investigation as a death occurred as a result of police action.
Puwe and Nodolo were granted bail of R1000 each and their case was postponed to 29 July.
