News Update:
Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of popular South African DJ, Oupa John Sefoka, popularly known as DJ Sumbody.
The arrests were made 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.
National Police Spokesperson, Athlenda Mathe, says the Gauteng Organised Crime Dectectives worked on the case and later roped in SAPS Political Killings Task Team to assist.
Mathe says the arrests were all made in Gauteng on Monday afternoon, adding that three of the suspects are believed to be hitmen and one is assumed to have ordered the hit on Sumbody.
“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 Fannie Masemola says this is a significant breakthrough that will hopefully provide closure to families involved,” says Mathe.
