THREE HITMEN AND HIT ORDERER ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH DJ SUMBODY MURDER

Pretoria, 21 July 2025; The National Commissioner of the SAPS, General Fannie Masemola has welcomed the latest breakthrough by the SAPS Political Killings Task Team working closely with Gauteng Organised Crime Detectives.

On Monday afternoon, the team arrested four men between the ages of 45 and 60 in connection with the murder of popular SA DJ , Oupa John Sefoka popularly known as DJ SUMBODY.

Sefoka was killed in a hail of bullets in November 2022.

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.

All four suspects are in police custody and are expected to appear in court soon.

General 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 hardwork 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 court”, said Gen Fannie Masemola.

Amongst the charges they are facing include murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

The case against 68-year-old Martha Christina, who is facing charges of Culpable Homicide and Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident, has been postponed to 20 August 2025 to allow for further investigations.

Christina appeared at the Germiston Magistrates’ Court, where she was granted bail of R5 000. As part of her bail conditions, she cannot leave the Gauteng province without notifying the investigating officer.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred on 28 June 2025 at Dinwiddie in Germiston, when the accused drove her vehicle into a crowd of people.

Among those present were young girls participating in a traditional coming-of-age ceremony.

According to reports, Christina’s vehicle struck 13-year-old Thando Pretty Mahlangu, who later succumbed to her injuries. The accused failed to stop at the scene and drove off immediately after the collision.

The NPA says it is committed to ensuring justice, particularly in cases involving the loss of young lives, by working closely with law enforcement to uphold accountability and the rule of law.
