Fifty-year-old Prince Lethukuthula Zulu was found dead in his Northwold home by security guards two weeks ago. 


It's believed the prince and his friend were drugged before a robbery was committed.


Gauteng police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters says the five suspects aged between 27 to 42 were arrested on Friday night in Pretoria. 


"During the arrest, one of the suspects was found in possession of different substances and these were seized.  


For further investigation against the possibility of the deceased and his business partner having being drugged before cash and other valuables were stolen from their place. 


Several suspected stolen items were seized and the suspects are facing charges of murder and theft. 


The five are expected to apply for bail at their next court appearance.
