An old video of Alostro discussing why DJ Sumbody was murdered has resurfaced following KwaZulu-Natal Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi’s explosive revelations.

The reason why DJ Sumbody was murdered has been a topic of discussion on social media ever since police arrested a Sandton businessman for allegedly orchestrating the hit. After Mkhwanazi shared the motive behind DJ Sumbody’s murder during his second appearance before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee, social media unearthed an old video of Alostro sharing why DJ Sumbody was killed.

“Alostro told us this and we thought he’s crazy😭”

In the comments section, social media users highlighted that Alostro was right all along, but no one took him seriously. Others applauded Mkhwanazi for exposing the drug syndicate and rot in the country.

Here are some of the comments:

@IamEriOluwa said:

“The police are aware of all these things. And they can fix it. But sadly, many of them are also compromised. Like Malema said years ago. South Africans must protect the General by all means. Only incorruptible officers like him can fix the drug issue in South Africa. Others can only pretend they are doing it. But it's just for the camera.”
