Dj Warras murder suspect back in court
The Johannesburg Magistrate Court on Tuesday heard that Victor Majola, 44, who is facing charges of murder, premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder allegedly pointed out Warrick Stock popularly known as Dj Warras moments before he was shot dead,
Testifying during bail proceedings, investigating officer Captain Abe Montwedi told the court the accused was seated with two other men outside Zambezi Flats in the Johannesburg CBD on December 16, 2025, when Stock arrived.
Montwedi told the court that a witness overheard Majola speaking in isiZulu allegedly saying, “Nangu lo muntu,” meaning “here is the person.” Moments later, one of the men accompanying Majola allegedly shot Stock several times.
The suspects then fled on foot. Montwedi said CCTV footage from a nearby butcher showed Majola arriving with the alleged shooter, sitting together before the incident and leaving together afterwards.
On December 22, police received information that Majola and his girlfriend were hiding in Soweto. Montwedi said he arrested Majola at a hostel in Meadowlands, where he was found sleeping with his girlfriend.
Montwedi said the investigation was close to finalisation and that the arrest of the alleged shooter was imminent.
“The investigation is about to be finalised. Everything has been forwarded to forensic experts, including photographs, firearms and cartridges,” Montwedi told the court.
“I know who the shooter is. I will not mention his name, but I will arrest him.”
During the proceedings, Majola’s lawyer, Dumisani Mabunda, opposed the state’s position, arguing that his client did not commit the crime.
He said Majola does not have a passport and is not a flight risk.
Montwedi further said that once forensic examinations were completed, police would also arrest Majola’s girlfriend, Hlengiwe, who he alleged had previously threatened DJ Warras. She is reportedly a tenant at the Zambesi Building. It is alleged that she and Majola were illegally collecting rent from tenants.
The court proceedings will continue together for further evidence.
