Sandton Businessman Arrested in DJ Sumbody Murder Case
DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa John Sefoka, was gunned down in a hail of bullets during the early hours of 20 November 2022 in Woodmead, Johannesburg. The violent attack, described by police as a well-planned hit, also claimed the life of one of his bodyguards.
According to News24, Molefe’s arrest is considered a major breakthrough after the case had seemingly gone cold. Molefe was already out on bail for unrelated charges at the time of his arrest. His co-accused, Michael Pule Tau, Musa Kekana, and Tlego Floyd Mabusela, are currently in custody, awaiting trial for the 2024 assassination of Armand Swart.
The same trio also face charges for the attempted murder of actress and socialite Tebogo Thobejane in a separate incident, which was allegedly planned by her ex-boyfriend, Vusimusi “Cat” Matlala.
