Threats force DJ Sumbody murder case investigators into 24/7 protection as alleged kingpin Katiso Molefe fights for bail amid drug, murder links.
Something big is boiling under the surface of South Africa's music and criminal underworld. DJ Sumbody’s murder case has taken another chilling turn — and it's no longer just about the slain artist, but the people risking their lives to bring his killers to justice.
DJ Sumbody, real name Oupa Sefoka, was gunned down in a brutal triple homicide that shocked Mzansi and reverberated across the entertainment scene. But this isn’t just another tragic celebrity killing. The stakes are much higher now — and a new chapter in the case suggests something far darker is in play.
In a courtroom revelation that sent shivers across Alexandra Magistrate's Court this week, it was revealed that investigating officers on the DJ Sumbody case have been placed under 24/7 security protection. Why? Because someone wants them silenced.
That “someone” may well be the man currently at the centre of this storm: Katiso “KT” Molefe — the alleged kingpin prosecutors believe ordered the murder of DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards. Molefe is no stranger to violence or controversy. In fact, he’s already been linked to drug operations, international convictions, and another murder case involving an engineer.
The state, represented by prosecutor Khetokwakhe Ngubane, painted Molefe as a man deeply entangled in organised crime. WhatsApp messages allegedly show him communicating directly with the hitmen who executed the killing — including payments discussed after the hit.
It’s a sinister web of power, narcotics, and violence. But Molefe’s legal team is playing a different tune. In court, his lawyer Michael Hellens insisted Molefe has no reason to flee or threaten witnesses. In a sworn affidavit, Molefe claimed strong ties to South Africa, including R20 million in property and a R200,000 monthly income. His team argued that if he truly intended to disappear or destroy evidence, he would’ve done so long ago.
But there’s something the defense can’t erase: Molefe’s record.
Court documents reveal that Molefe has a past drug conviction in the UK, under a false identity. Back then, it was cannabis. Today, prosecutors say it could be cocaine or crystal meth — with DJ Sumbody’s murder potentially tied to drug trade disputes.
What’s most disturbing is how close the violence is getting to those trying to uphold the law. The fact that SAPS had to assign round-the-clock protection to officers handling the case isn’t just a precaution — it’s a scream for help from inside the justice system.

Social media is buzzing. Some fear Molefe’s money and influence could swing the case. Others worry this is another reminder of how South Africa’s top criminals often walk free.
But make no mistake — the case is far from over.
Molefe’s bail hearing has now been postponed until August 15, 2025. Legal teams on both sides are preparing for what could be one of South Africa’s most dramatic courtroom showdowns.
DJ Sumbody wasn’t just an artist. He was a father, a friend, a dreamer. And his legacy won’t be buried under bullet casings and courtroom transcripts.
For now, the nation waits. The streets are whispering. And the people protecting the truth? They now have security watching their every move — because someone out there still wants this case buried.
You decide — is justice closing in? Or is power once again rewriting the rules?
