A shocking revelation has emerged from South Africa's crime intelligence: the South African Police Service (SAPS) may have knowledge regarding the orchestrated deaths of prominent figures. This includes media personality Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock, whistleblower Babita Deokaran, and crucial state witness Marius van der Merwe, also known as Witness D. Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo, head of Crime Intelligence, admitted this before a parliamentary committee, sparking serious concerns about the integrity of the justice system. This video explores the connections between these high-profile cases, revealing a disturbing narrative of corruption and collusion within law enforcement.
On December 16, 2025, DJ Warras was fatally shot in the JOHANNESBURG CBD. CCTV footage captured the moments leading up to the attack outside the Zambesi Building on Von Wielligh Street in Marshalltown. Warras was involved in efforts to regularize the building's management, putting him at odds with individuals benefiting from illicit activities. The footage shows a gunman, described as wearing a green t-shirt, blue floral shorts, sandals, and a cap, shooting Warras multiple times before calmly retrieving the keys to Warras' Audi Q7. An accomplice was also seen picking up bags, one of which contained the firearm.
The investigation led to the arrest of Victor Majola, a 44-year-old SOWETO taxi boss, as the alleged mastermind. Captain Abe Montwedi testified that CCTV footage showed Majola with the gunman shortly before the shooting. Majola faces charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy. He maintains his innocence, claiming he was in SOWETO at the time.
This incident follows the assassination of Babita Deokaran on August 23, 2021. Deokaran, a senior official in the Gauteng Department of Health, exposed irregular contracts. Her death highlighted the dangers faced by those who speak out against criminal networks. Just before DJ Warras' death, Marius van der Merwe, or Witness D, was shot on December 5, 2025. He had testified about a murder cover-up involving high-ranking officials within the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Police Department (EMPD), implicating Julius Mkhwanazi.
Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo's testimony revealed potential police involvement in these deaths. He cited cases where on-duty officers were hired as hitmen. Khumalo stated that a 2024 assessment found "almost the whole of SAPS in Gauteng is working for the cartel." He claimed that highly trained officers were moonlighting for criminal syndicates, leading to operational sabotage. When asked to name specific individuals, Khumalo declined, citing legal constraints. EFF leader Julius Malema pressed him on the involvement of figures like Senzo Mchunu and Shadrack Sibiya, but Khumalo remained evasive.
In the JOHANNESBURG Magistrate's Court, Victor Majola fought for bail. His attorney, Dumisani Mabunda, sought the CCTV footage, but the magistrate initially dismissed the application. However, after Eyewitness News published the footage, Mabunda reopened the defense's case. Majola's defense presented an alibi, supported by a mechanic who claimed Majola was with him on the day of the murder. The state argued that Majola was a flight risk and a danger to witnesses.
These assassinations highlight a crisis in South Africa, with a high murder rate and a justice system struggling with unresolved cases. Revelations of corruption within the SAPS erode public trust. The failure to protect whistleblowers and witnesses creates a climate of fear. As the legal proceedings against Victor Majola continue and the inquiry into police corruption deepens, questions remain about whether justice will be served.
