Victor Majola to apply for bail in January after being charged in DJ Warras murder

A major development has emerged in the murder case of DJ Warras, with one of the two suspects now formally charged with premeditated murder.

Victor Mthethwa Majola appeared at the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court, where he was charged in connection with the killing of the popular DJ, whose real name was Warrick Stock.

The court heard that Majola will remain behind bars as investigations continue, while the matter has been postponed to 6 January 2026.

Majola is expected to apply for bail on the next court date, an application the State has confirmed it will oppose.

Charges against a second suspect who was initially arrested alongside Majola have been provisionally withdrawn.

DJ Warras was fatally shot in Johannesburg’s CBD on Tuesday, 16 December 2025, in a shocking incident that sent waves through the entertainment industry and beyond.

The case gained renewed attention following Majola’s court appearance, with his identity now publicly known.

According to reports, the accused was brought in for questioning earlier in the week before being formally charged.

Authorities have maintained that investigations are ongoing, and any further developments will be addressed through the courts.

News of the charge quickly spread across social media platforms, triggering strong reactions from members of the public.

Many netizens took to comment sections to express outrage, grief and calls for justice for the late DJ.

In a statement circulating online, it was confirmed: “DJ WARRAS | One of the two accused in the murder of Warrick Stock will return to court on 06 January for a bail application. The accused will remain in police custody.”
