The Johannesburg public order policing unit arrested two suspects and rescued an alleged kidnapping victim during funeral proceedings in Bekkersdal, west of Joburg, on Monday.
Police were deployed to monitor the funeral of nine people killed in a mass shooting at a tavern last week. During the attack, 12 suspects travelling in a white kombi and a silver sedan allegedly opened fire on patrons at the tavern and randomly shot people in the street as they fled the scene.
Gauteng police spokesperson Col Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi said the arrests were made while officers were escorting the funeral convoy.
