According to ZiMoja, a former associate of Mujava spotted him in the streets of Attredgeville, Pretoria, begging for money.
Compelled to help, the associate returned to the same place, only to find Mujava and a group of young men huggled up smoking nyaope, noting that the once-loved producer had refused help from family.

"Got to meet my childhood idol last night; DJ Mujaca! A humble man, he said I’m inspiring him."
