According to South African police, two individuals have been detained in connection with the weekend shootings at taverns that claimed a total of 19 lives.
Police do not believe that the shootings in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, and Soweto, which resulted in the deaths of 15 people and four more, are connected.
The police minister, Bheki Cele, got a briefing on the horrific shootings on Monday as the arrests were announced.
The two people connected to the Pietermaritzburg shooting have been detained, the police said in a statement, and this is "a first step of bringing to book all those who plotted one of the country's bloodiest weekends."
According to the police, a portion of its reaction team had been sent to Soweto to help with policing in response to community needs.
It happens while the government is under pressure to identify those responsible for the killings, and the police are accused of not doing enough to safeguard the populace.
The nation has one of the highest rates of crime in the entire world.
