Traditional healer eerily prophesied DJ Sumbody’s death in September, Mzansi shocked

Briefly News also reported South Africans are still reeling from DJ Sumbody’s death, and as they mourned on social media, a traditional healer’s old tweet was dug up. The young lady with the Twitter handle @umakhosi99 posted on 25 September about DJ Sumbody’s demise or someone associated with him in the music industry. She wrote:

“Prophetic warning to all DJ’s, especially those who have featured DJ Sumbody. There’s one DJ in particular, I can’t mention a name, but he’s going to be severely injured in the head by an off-balanced speaker, heavy bleeding leading to death or mental illness.”

Her vision was not 100 % correct, but it was eery how close she was, and the fact that she mentioned Dj Sumbody directly spooked many people.
