As the bail hearing of Victor Majola continues, the court's decision to present crucial surveillance footage underscores the gravity of DJ Warras's murder.
The Johannesburg magistrate’s court has delayed the bail hearing of Victor Majola, the man accused of orchestrating the shocking murder of popular entertainer Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock, until Thursday.
The court’s decision came after Magistrate Annelise Thlapi ordered that crucial CCTV footage, allegedly capturing the tragic shooting, be presented during the next session. This evidence is expected to illuminate the circumstances surrounding the crime and provide further insight into the alarming case.
Earlier in the week, the court revealed harrowing details from five protection orders that had been taken out by DJ Warras, shedding light on a troubling web of intimidation leading up to his murder. This unsettling testimony emerged during the ongoing bail application, where Majola is facing dire charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder, leaving the entire entertainment community and the public in shock.
According to state allegations, Victor Majola played a pivotal role in the assassination of DJ Warras, instructing accomplices on how to execute the chilling plan. Witness testimony indicates that he even pointed out the DJ to two other men prior to the assault, a revelation that underscores the mounting fears and threats DJ Warras faced in the month leading up to his death on 23 November 2025.
At the heart of this case lies the grim reality of DJ Warras's last days, characterised by fear and intimidation. The location of his murder, the Zambezi high-jacked building in Johannesburg’s CBD, has become emblematic of the alarming violence that has gripped the city, leaving friends, family, and fans of the beloved DJ heartbroken and demanding justice.
In response to the harrowing evidence presented, Magistrate Thlapi's decision to obtain the surveillance footage from a nearby butchery indicates a thorough pursuit of truth in this high-profile case.
As the court awaits the footage, the community remains hopeful that justice will prevail in honouring the vibrant life of DJ Warras, whose contributions to the music scene will not be forgotten. The next steps in this case will be closely monitored by the public, all hoping for a resolution that brings closure to a tragic and unnecessary loss.
