DJ Sumbody murder accused arrested, heading to court
Four suspects arrested in connection with the murder of Oupa Sefoka, popularly known as DJ Sumbody, are expected to appear before the Alexander Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday.
The group of men aged between 45 and 60 was arrested on Monday afternoon by the South African Police Service (SAPS) Political Killings Task Team, working closely with Gauteng Organised Crime Detectives.
Sefoka was killed in a hail of bullets in November 2022.
SAPS National spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says," Gauteng organised crime detectives worked on the case and later roped in the SAPS Political Killings Task Team to assist."
"The arrests were all effected in Gauteng on Monday afternoon and three of the suspects are believed to be hitmen and one is believed to have ordered the hit on the DJ.
"The weapon allegedly used in the commission of the crime was seized and has since been linked to other murders."
National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola says this is a significant breakthrough that will hopefully provide closure to families involved.
"Well done to the teams that have been piecing together evidence since November 2022. This is a culmination of hard work and dedication to justice. This is one of those complex cases that our teams needed to take their time in ensuring a thorough investigation so that we could ultimately bring a strong case before the court."
Amongst the charges they are facing are murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
