Officers from the KwaZulu-Natal Hawks arrested a 34-year-old man in Umzimkhulu on Thursday - just over two weeks after the killing.
In a statement on Friday, Mayor Kaunda says they're still in pain over Zondo's murder.
He's described him as an outstanding officer - who - like a true soldier - died with his boots on.
He says he hopes the arrest will be the beginning of a healing process for his family.
