Following the development, Nicole Stock-Mabuza addressed journalists outside the courtroom. In a video shared by SABC News on X (Twitter), Nicole reflected on how their first festive season without DJ Warras felt empty.

“We all missed him. Boys as well. A lot. We feel it. It’s now becoming more real. You know, the void is real, and the only thing that can actually fill that void is prayer to God. Hence, we reached out to a nation to roll with us in prayer, to stand with us in solidarity. I think that's important because right now we need God, we need Christ,” Nicole said.

She said the Stocks are going to trust the process and hope that justice will be served.

“We need love, we need support. Anger and revenge are not gonna get us to where we need to be. We need to all just trust the process that's taking place right now. That's all I can say,” she added.

“So now it's up to us as adults and as South Africans to be mentors to our children, to the youth, to the teenagers. I mean, yeah, you see these three boys that have been left behind, but how many boys are without fathers? How many boys are without mothers? We need to realise that blaming, pointing fingers, is not gonna solve any problem. When we unite, and we hold each other, this is where we get the answers that we need, not what we want, that we need, and that's good for us,” she said.

In a statement shared exclusively with Briefly News journalist Moroba Maepa, the Stock family called for national solidarity in their call for justice.

As the accused appeared in court, the family highlighted that instead of fueling the tension, they sought to "stand in spirit and in unity to surround our brother Warrick with a wall of love and to hold quiet strength for truth, fairness, and justice to be carried out."

To celebrate his courageous spirit, the family reached out to fans and friends to participate in a powerful tribute: changing their social media profile pictures to solid white squares, lighting a candle in his memory, and sharing personal stories of the profound impact Warras had on their lives.

This was to show the unity between those affected by the late DJ's murder.

"Let this be a silent but powerful signal that we are united in remembrance, in dignity, and in expectation of truth."
