Katiso 'KT' Molefe and three co-accused are due to stand trial in the Johannesburg High Court on 35 charges linked to several killings, among them the November 2022 shooting of musician Oupa 'DJ Sumbody' Sefoka and his two bodyguards in Woodmead. All four accused are presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
The State alleges Molefe arranged the Woodmead killings. Molefe is out on R400,000 bail. We have not yet confirmed what was said in court on the first day or how the accused pleaded.
What the State alleges
According to court-diary reporting, the State alleges that Molefe arranged the November 2022 murder of Sefoka and his two bodyguards in Woodmead. Investigators have also linked guns used in that shooting to the killings of DJ Vintos, businessman Don Tindleni and engineer Armand Swart, according to the same reporting.
These are allegations. None has been tested or proven in court.
