Overview
- Victor Mthethwa Majola, 44, remains in custody after a brief Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court appearance that reset his formal bail hearing to January 13.
- Majola faces Schedule 6 counts of premeditated murder and conspiracy tied to Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock’s December 16 shooting outside Zambesi House, offences that carry possible life sentences.
- The National Prosecuting Authority is opposing bail, with the state still verifying details and pursuing an active investigation.
- Defence lawyer Dumisani Mabunda says the state lacks direct evidence and argues the only link is a statement from a woman whose charges were withdrawn, adding he believes Majola has a strong chance of bail.
- The court noted allegations of assault in custody after Majola confirmed he saw a prison doctor, while police continue to review CCTV indicating multiple suspects and signal that further arrests are possible.
