In a dramatic twist to one of South Africa’s most high-profile murder investigations, Patriotic Alliance deputy president and Johannesburg Transport MMC Kenny Kunene was found at the Sandton residence of Katiso “KT” Molefe — the man now accused of masterminding the 2022 killing of amapiano star DJ Sumbody.
According to News24, police raided Molefe’s luxury home on Monday morning, arresting him in connection with the fatal shooting of Oupa “DJ Sumbody” Sefoka. Kunene was reportedly at the property awaiting a scheduled meeting with Molefe when the operation unfolded.
Sources confirmed that Kunene was not arrested. He remained briefly to provide a police statement and was released without any charges. Police have not suggested any wrongdoing on his part.
Molefe, believed to have led a team of hired assassins in the brutal ambush that claimed DJ Sumbody’s life, appeared in court earlier today following his arrest. Details of the charges against him are expected to emerge as the case unfolds.
Kunene’s surprise presence at the crime suspect’s home has ignited widespread speculation over the nature of his relationship with Molefe. While no official links have been confirmed, the overlap between politics, entertainment, and criminal investigation has once again thrust a spotlight on powerful circles intersecting behind closed doors.
Police confirmed the arrest is part of a broader operation tied to the ongoing investigation. Authorities are continuing to urge the public to come forward with any information that may help uncover the full story behind DJ Sumbody’s murder.
