The Monate Mpolaye hitmaker was gunned down in a hail of bullets in Woodmead, Johannesburg, on 20 November 2022, and his case remains cold.
"Ballistic examinations are ongoing, but preliminary results suggest that shell casings recovered from the N1 highway scene where Thobejane narrowly escaped death may match those found at the crime scenes of DJ Sumbody’s fatal ambush."
Taxi tycoon, Joe Sibanyoni, was attacked at a golf estate in Centurion in August 2022, in a similar fashion to the two other attacks.
As investigations are still underway, Thobejane's former lover and the man who allegedly ordered the hit on her, Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala, and his alleged hitmen remain in custody.
Meanwhile, Matlala's wife, Tsakani, is out on R20,000 bail.
