It's been a sad Sunday for South African music lovers, as reports started circulating that DJ Sumbody was gunned down in Woodmead, Johannesburg.

The amapiano producer was killed with another person inside a VW Golf at the intersection of Woodmead Drive and Woodland Drive early in the morning.

A TikTok user, @angelsebothoma316, posted a video of DJ Sumbody's family at the crime scene performing a cleansing ceremony.

It is a spiritual practice where many believe that the spirit of the dead must be collected from the place of death. This ensures the deceased can rest peacefully, especially if they died violently.
