Nemadodzi and Mulaudzi, who remain in custody, were arrested shortly after Maluleke’s murder on July 21.
Maluleke was shot and killed outside his home in Xikundu Village during an attack in which his teenage son was injured.
Three suspects were initially arrested, however, one was released after investigations could not positively link him to the incident.
