The family of late South African businessman and entertainer DJ Sumbody, whose real name was Oupa Sefoka, has expressed deep disappointment following reports that police have ended their search for his killers. DJ Sumbody was tragically shot and killed in a hail of bullets on November 20, 2022.
According to a source speaking to ZiMoja, the investigation has reportedly gone cold, leading authorities to classify the case as null. “This means it will no longer be investigated until new evidence comes to light,” the source explained. Gauteng police spokesperson Captain Mavela Masondo confirmed that the case is now being treated as cold. “It will remain so until new leads are found,” he stated, emphasizing that investigations are time-sensitive and must allow resources to focus on ongoing cases.
The family, particularly representative Meaghan Sebela, voiced their frustration over the lack of updates and clarity surrounding the case. “We don’t know anything. This is the first we’re hearing about the case being cold,” she said. “We just want to know who killed him. It’s surprising that a person of his stature can be killed, and the killers are not brought to book; this is disappointing.”
The declaration of the case as cold adds to the anguish of Sefoka’s loved ones, who are left grappling with unanswered questions and seeking justice for his untimely death. The family continues to call for renewed efforts to investigate the crime, hoping that new evidence may eventually surface.
