A suspect is due to appear in the Khayelitsha magistrate's court on Wednesday in connection with a murder spree on July 16.

According to the office of the provincial police commissioner in the Western Cape, he was arrested on Monday evening during a tracing operation in Khayelitsha.

The incident occurred on the corners of Nyebelele and Ntengu streets in Site C Khayelitsha.

Three male victims — Kwezi Mphummzi, 34, Mveleli Nobuzana, 36, and Howard Mjamba, 50 — were gunned down.

The suspect has a previous conviction for the possession of an unlicensed firearm in 2017.

Police said detectives from the provincial organised crime unit are seeking the suspect's alleged accomplices.
