Eastern Cape police said a 50-year-old man will be appearing in the eMaXesibeni magistrate court on Monday in connection with a shooting that left two family members, aged 16 and 33, dead.
Police spokesperson, Lieutenant-Colonel Siphokazi Mawisa, said four other people, aged between 20 and 57, were also shot and wounded and are in critical condition in hospital.
She said the incident happened in the Mkhambathini location outside eMaxesibeni on Friday when four balaclava-clad gunmen opened fire on two homes.
