The businessman faces multiple charges, including murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The charges relate to a series of alleged contract killings involving South African DJs. Apart from the murder of DJ Sumbody, Molefe and three co-accused face charges related to the murder of Hector ‘DJ Vintos’ Buthelezi.
He is also linked to the murder of Vereeniging engineer, Armand Swart. The State also disclosed that Molefe had a prior drug-related conviction in the United Kingdom, and he also used a false passport to travel abroad.

During his testimony at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo provided details about an organised crime syndicate called the Big Five. The Head of Crime Intelligence said the members included KT Molefe and Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
