Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two people are expected to appear in court on Monday in connection with a mass shooting at Mdlalose Tavern in Nomzamo Park, Orlando East, in July which claimed the lives of 16 people.<\/p>\n

Gauteng police spokesperson Brigadier Brenda Muridili said one was arrested on Thursday and the other on Friday.<\/p>\n

Muridili said provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Elias Mawela welcomed the progress in the case.<\/p>\n

More arrests are imminent.<\/p>\n

Sixteen people were killed at the tavern on 14 July when gunmen opened fire on patrons.<\/p>\n

‘They were killed for nothing’ – family of brothers slain in Nomzamo tavern massacre<\/p>\n

Police Minister Bheki Cele said at the time that the five assailants drove a white Toyota Quantum.<\/p>\n

He said at the time:<\/p>\n

“We don’t know what angered the killers to commit such a horrendous crime. We will find out why they committed such a crime. It was such brutality. What we know is that there were five people involved,” he added.<\/p>\n

News24 previously reported that Luyanda Mjoli, 19, his eldest brother, Sithembiso Mjoli, 34, and Daliwonga Mluma were among those who were killed.<\/p>\n

A woman who held a picture of Mluma said at the time that Nomzamo Park residents were living in fear: “We have been complaining for far too long to our government about the violent situation in Nomzamo Park. How many more [people] must die before we are heard? We are killed on our way [to] and back from work. How much blood must be spilt here before the government intervenes?”<\/p>\n
