Zola Hashatsi reacts to Fannie Masemola's update on DJ Warras murder case
Hours after Masemola gave the update on the investigations into the murder of DJ Warras, former Rhythm City actor Zola Hashatsi weighed in on Fannie Masemola’s update.
In a post on his official X account, Hashatsi expressed confidence in Masemola. He stated that had the promise to apprehend a suspect in DJ Warras’ killing been made by anyone other than the National Commissioner, he wouldn’t have believed it. Hashatsi said that he would be keeping an eye out for any new developments in the case.
Zola Hashatsi also said that he had attended DJ Warras’ memorial service, but ensured that he remained inconspicuous. The post was captioned:
“When @SAPoliceService National Commissioner Uncle Fannie Masemola says the suspects in @Shady_Lurker will be arrested by Monday, I believe him, and I will stay on the case. I just came back from his memorial, and I made sure I was invisible.”

Reacting to Zola Hashatsi's comment on Fannie Masemola's update on the DJ Warras murder investigations, social media user @ISephara was less confident. He alleged that Masemola had been inconsistent with his updates and had given several dates on when an arrest would be made. The post was captioned:
"Fannie Masemola is being ridiculous now. Two days ago, he said the arrest of the #DJWarras murder suspects is imminent. Yesterday, he said they'll be arrested on the weekend. Today, he says they'll be arrested on Monday. Tomorrow, he'll say they'll be arrested on Christmas Day. On Christmas Day, he will say they will be arrested when schools open."

In a separate post, Zola Hashatsi expressed disbelief that DJ Warras was gone. He ended his post by expressing confidence that the late broadcaster’s killers would be arrested. The post was captioned:
“If someone had said to me that on the 19th of December 2025 we would be coming back from your memorial service @Shady_Lurker after celebrating your 40th a month ago I would have said, GTFOOHWTBS, but silapha ke ngoku (but here we are now), it's painful I won't. Lie. But I promise we will find them.”
