DJ Sumbody Murder: Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe Remains Behind Bars After Bail Denied

Controversial businessman Katiso “KT” Molefe will remain behind bars after the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court denied him bail on Wednesday in connection with the murder of South African music icon Oupa John “DJ Sumbody” Sefoka.

Molefe, accused of being the alleged mastermind behind DJ Sumbody’s assassination, had argued that facing a murder charge should not automatically disqualify him from being granted bail. However, the court sided with the state, ruling that Molefe posed a danger to the public given his alleged extensive criminal ties.

The state argued that he (KT) is deeply entrenched in organised crime and pointed to his alleged involvement in the illicit drug trade, as well as his connections to suspicious tenders and corrupt business dealings.

It also emerged that when Molefe was arrested for DJ Sumbody’s killing, he was already out on R100,000 bail for a separate murder case.

The magistrate emphasised that granting him bail would not serve the interests of justice, given the seriousness of the charges and the potential risks involved.
