Darkness has fallen over South Africa, a deep silence following the assassinations of DJ Warrick Stock, known as DJ WARRAS, and Marius “Vlam” van der Merwe, or "Witness D" from the Madlanga Commission. This video delves into why their killers may never face justice, exposing a fractured South African Police Service (SAPS) gripped by corruption, fear, and political control.
DJ WARRAS, a celebrated DJ and owner of Imperium Ops, was fighting the hijacking of inner-city buildings in Johannesburg. He was gunned down outside Zambezi House, a hijacked building near Carlton Centre. His blueprint for legally reclaiming hijacked properties threatened a multi-billion rand industry involving criminal landlords, corrupt officials, private security bosses, and police insiders. Major-General Fred Kekana, Gauteng Deputy Police Commissioner, stated surveillance footage showed two men approaching DJ WARRAS: one with dreadlocks, another in a security guard uniform. National Police Commissioner General Fannie Masemola promised arrests, citing names, photos, and CCTV evidence. Yet, no arrests have been made, raising serious questions.
Marius van der Merwe, "Witness D," was murdered outside his home in Brakpan. He was about to expose illegal mining networks controlled by Zama Zama bosses, corrupt law enforcers, and politicians. Days before, he pleaded with reporter Yusuf Abramjee for a platform to reveal everything. Gunmen opened fire. He had turned down witness protection, possibly fearing police corruption. General Masemola announced the vehicle used was found, and people were questioned, but again, no arrests followed.
The Madlanga Commission revealed that senior SAPS officials, like Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, had ties to underworld figures such as Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, accused of bribery and suppressing investigations. General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi testified that Sibiya sabotaged murder investigations to protect criminal financiers, including the kidnapping of Jerry Boshoga. Mkhwanazi also claimed this network worked to disband the Political Killings Task Team under orders from suspended Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, allegedly to protect high-level associates. Witness C testified that Matlala admitted paying Sibiya millions and funding Mchunu’s campaign via Brown Mogotsi. General Masemola confirmed a whistleblower warned him about Sibiya and Matlala controlling the police.
DJ WARRAS had received protection orders due to threats from those opposing his work at Zambezi Building, including Sofia Khumalo. Forensic data from a suspect's cellphone revealed messages mocking Warras’ death.
The mysterious deaths of three police constables – Boipelo Senoge, Keamogetswe Buys, and Cebekhulu Linda – in the Hennops River further complicate the picture. They were part of Operation Vala Umgodi, targeting illegal mining. Sibiya, leading the search, quickly blamed "bad weather and speeding," raising suspicions.
This video explores the connections between these cases, the potential motives, and the disturbing possibility that powerful figures are shielding the killers. We examine Mkhwanazi's accusations, the suppressed dockets, and the evidence that points to a system where investigations end when they approach the wrong names. Did General Masemola and Major-General Fred Kekana have their orders overruled?
What does this mean for South Africa's justice system? Is it possible to hold those responsible accountable, or are they too powerful to fall?
