Police spokesperson Capt Mavela Masondo confirmed that a formal case had been opened against the DJs. He said that no arrests have been made yet.

“As per case the number you provided, I can confirm a case of rape was opened at Sunnyside police station and is under investigation," said Masondo.

The woman said that she was not "stocko" (a term describing a woman who is available for "a good time") but she was simply accompanying her friend to the party and that is when it happened.

DJ Fresh and Euphonik are both employed by music radio station 947. According to EyeWitness News, last year, Ntsiki Mazwai claimed that DJ Fresh sexually assaulted her.
