Forbes and Motsoane were gunned down outside Wish Restaurant on Florida Road, Durban.


The restaurant closed its doors in April after a downturn in business following the shooting.


February 10 marks exactly a year since the killing of the pair.


National spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said police have made progress.


"We have made progress, we have positive evidence linking identified suspects, and others are in custody related to other matters. Others are on the run, and the team is hot on their heels.


"We are aware of limited communication with the affected families, the investigation is at a very sensitive stage and we have therefore taken the decision to limit all communication related to this matter. "


"The limited communication was not at all intended to undermine any of the affected families. We will however endeavour to improve on this in the near future."
