Provincial police spokesperson, Colonel Sibongile Soci, said that the 29-year-old Mziyanda Ketani, was arrested in East London over the weekend.
She said he appeared in court on Monday, 31 July and was remanded in custody to 7 August.
"His arrest follows after the cold blooded murder of Raymond Mhlaba municipal council Speaker, Thozama Njoba on 17 July 2017. The investigation continues and more arrests are imminent," said Soci.
Eastern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen Liziwe Ntshinga commended the two detective teams for securing the speedy arrest of the alleged perpetrators.
“Lawlessness will not be tolerated and those involved in crime must rightfully fear us because we will bring them to book. I must remind people again that, taking the law into their own hands is a criminal offence," she said.
