Who killed Dj Sumbody?
On November 20, 2022, a gunshot in the Woodmead neighbourhood of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa, claimed the life of DJ Sumbody. SumSounds Music, his management company, has recently confirmed the information.
He passed away in an awful circumstance early on Sunday, November 20, according to the statement. However, it made clear that owing to the current investigation, no other information could be disclosed.
In this trying time, Oupa’s management and family have requested privacy. They also stated that they would shortly provide information regarding the Funeral and Memorial Service.
Given that the musician was very active and just posted on Instagram a few hours earlier, fans are shocked. All across social media, they have left words of astonishment and anguish.
Others hope that the information is inaccurate since they still do not believe the news and are waiting for confirmation from his family.
However, it is unlikely that the DJ is still alive given that Sumbody’s management issued a formal declaration.
It is yet too early to identify the killer and determine their motive because the inquiry is only in its early stages. We hope that the information will spread more swiftly and that the wrongdoer will face the appropriate punishment.
Who was Oupa John Sefoka?
South Africa’s Pretoria is where Oupa John Sefoka was born. His ethnicity and nationality are both African.
Although his exact age is unknown, he had a birthday on June 9. He was supposedly in his 30s.
Oupa first began his scholastic journey at Sunnyside Primary School. He continued his study there before attending Bokgoni Technical High School. He also enrolled at Tshwane University of Technology to pursue a degree.
He left college in his second year because his passion for music overrode his desire to do well in school.
His family would have preferred that he finish his studies, but his decision to leave seems to have been the right one. The Pretoria-born artist has seen extraordinary success as a result.
On a list of Mzansi musicians who have achieved success in both music and business, Dj Sumbody is one of the names we must mention. His fortunes ranged from $1 to $5 million, making him a millionaire.
He was single and had no children when he passed away.

Cassper Nyovest lost his two best friends in a period of 10 months. First it was Ricky Rick and now it’s DJ Sumbody. This is must be hard on him especially with only two weeks to his Fill Up Mabatho event. Life is too short #djsomebody #RIPTwitter #RIPDjSumbody
