A 26-year-old and from Cape Town's Khayelitsha slum is being held at a police station in connection with the slaying.
The search continues for a second man after the brutal murder of British tourist Shrien Dewani's new wife, who was 28. Police officers have told Mr. Dewani that they now know the identity of the second suspect.
Speaking about the latest developments last night, Mr Dewani, 30, from Westbury-on-Trym near Bristol, said: 'It's good news.
'The police are very positive they have the right guy.
'They have told me that all the elements match: forensics, accent, background and alibi.'
Mr Dewani revealed how he pleaded with the kidnappers not to separate them after they were hijacked in a taxi.
The couple had made a spontaneous decision to tour 'the real South Africa' with tragic consequences.
Mr Derani said they put a gun in his ear and pushed him out of the moving taxi. As he sprawled by the roadside in a Cape Town slum, they drove his bride into the night.
Just hours later her body was found inside the abandoned taxi. She had been shot at least three times in the chest, and a post-mortem examination could confirm fears she was also sexually assaulted.
Speaking at a press conference in Cape Town today, Western Cape community safety minister Albert Fritz said: 'We can confirm that South African Police Service officers have effected an arrest in the case of the murder of the British tourist who was murdered on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
