The case against two men accused in the assassination of media personality Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock has been postponed to 1 April 2026 for further investigations.
Victor Mthethwa Majola and Mozambican national Armindo Joaquim Pacula briefly appeared together in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, February 11.
They face charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Prosecutor Vincent Mochabela informed the court that investigators require additional time to prepare the matter.
For the family and fans of the late DJ, the delay means another month of waiting for answers in a case that has gripped the city.
The court heard that while the primary arrests have been made, the state’s “paper trail” is not yet complete. Ballistics reports are also pending, which will be essential in matching the weapon used in the assassination to the suspects.
These technical pillars are often the deciding factors in securing a conviction in premeditated murder cases.
In her ruling, the magistrate granted postponement and told the accused that they will remain in custody until their next court appearance.
Warras was gunned down on December 16, 2025, in the heart of Johannesburg’s Central Business District. At the time of his death, he was contracted to oversee a security system upgrade at the Zambezi flats, an area linked to recent hijacking incidents.
