The suspect is scheduled to appear at Mtubatuba Regional Court tomorrow (Wednesday).
While a motive for the murder is yet to be established, investigations are ongoing and police officers are following further leads.
Early last month, while attending a cultural festival in Mtubatuba hosted by the Mtubatuba Municipality, Msomi was shot ‘execution-style’ in the forehead by someone who, as described by witnesses, appeared to hug him before shooting him.
He died instantly and his body was taken to the Mtubatuba state mortuary.
