The four men charged with the murders of DJ Sumbody and his two bodyguards, as well as Vereeniging engineer Amand Swart now face four counts of murder after police added an additional two murder counts to the ones they already face.
They are accused of the murders of Hector DJ Vintos Buthelezi who died in March 2022 outside a nightclub in Orlando East, Soweto. Buthelezi died under a hail of bullets coming from suspects driving a BMW X5. The second charge relates to the murder of Don Tindleni who was killed on the N1 in March 2023.
This was revealed on Tuesday morning when Sandton businessman Tankiso TK Molefe and alleged hitmen Michael Pule Tau, Tiego Floyd Mabusela and Musa Kekana briefly appeared in the Alexandra magistrates court.
Molefe is the alleged mastermind in the murder of DJ Sumbody, whose real name is Oupa Sefoka. Tau is a former Gauteng detective who used to be based at Johannesburg Central police station.
DJ Sumbody and his bodyguards, Sibusiso Mokoena and Sandile Myeza died under a hail of bullets in Woodmead in 2022. Swart, who was killed in an alleged mistaken identity hit in April 2024, was shot 23 times.
