DJ Sumbody's background information
The late DJ was born in Pretoria, South Africa, on 9 June, but his birth year is unknown. Some news outlets suggested that he was born between the late 70s and early 80s, putting him in his 40s. He attended Sunnyside Primary School and Bokgoni Technical High School before seeking higher education at the Tshwane University of Technology.
He reportedly had a rough childhood financially, though some claim that his parents were not doing badly. His determination to succeed was unrivalled as he worked his way up from being a disc jockey at parties to becoming one of the biggest names in South Africa's entertainment industry.
Career
DJ Sumbody had been interested in music since high school and was known to buy vinyl projects of famous artists at the time. He started working as a DJ at parties, renting out some of his equipment to fun joints when he did not have a gig. At some point, he was also an on-air personality; he volunteered at the Tshwane Mashaedi FM as a presenter and producer on a show known as Engage.
He released several mixing projects, including Larger Than House volumes one and two. He also worked with some of the biggest names in the South African music industry, including Busiswa, Cassper Nyovest, and Zakes Bantwini. One of his career peaks was when his hit single, Monate Mpolaye, got millions of YouTube views and was three-time platinum.

The late DJ founded a record label, Sumsound Productions, and artists like Madam MC, The Lowkeys, and Snow Deep signed to the project.
Aside from his success in the entertainment industry, John Sefoka heavily invested in the hospitality business and co-owned the Ayepyep Lifestyle brand with his business partner and long-term friend, Kagiso Setsetse. He allegedly had a foot in the transportation industry with Jamoloto & Son Transportation service.
Death
On 20 November 2022, the South African media buzzed with news of DJ Sumbody's death. The family subsequently confirmed it, though they did not give detailed information about the events surrounding his death since an investigation was ongoing.
But was DJ Sumbody shot? As published on Timeslive's website, the celebrity DJ was shot multiple times in his car alongside one of his bodyguards.
Was DJ Sumbody married?
It is unknown whether DJ Sumbody married because he kept his love life away from the media but hinted at who his sweetheart was in some Instagram posts. Tlotlisang "Tlotlo" Moloi was found to be the one.
DJ Sumbody's baby mama
Contrary to what some people think, neither Tlotlisang nor anyone is known as the late DJ's baby mama. Until the passing of the superstar, he often only referred to Tlotlo as his girlfriend in some quarters.
Considering the circumstances surrounding his love life, calling Tlotlo DJ Sumbody's wife is challenging. But she wrote a touching speech at his funeral, which the deceased sister, Thandiwe Sefoka, read.
Does DJ Sumbody have a child?
There is no news of any of DJ Sumbody's children. This is partly because he kept his love life affairs private.
What happened to Tlotlo?
Tlotlo's in-laws have reportedly denied her access to most of her late partner's property. She had lived with the disc jockey at his luxurious mansion in Copperleaf Golf Estate, Centurion, Gauteng.

She was reportedly told to vacate the apartment so the family could do some cleaning but was never allowed back in afterwards. Violet Sefoka, DJ Sumbody's mother, is said to be in charge of the real estate he left behind, and all fingers point at her as the one stopping Tlotlo Sefoka from retaining her residency at the house.
While some people claim that she has been in a financial mess since her partner's death, Tlotlo said:
I want you guys to know that I'm OK. I'm safe. I'm taken care of. I'm not struggling, guys, please. I would never struggle.
Tlotlo has since moved on with her life since her partner's death. Although she is hardly regarded as DJ Sumbody's wife, all indications show she was closest to the South African entertainment enigma during his lifetime.
