Majola allegedly pointed out Stock before the fatal shooting
During Majola’s official bail application on 13 January 2026, the investigating officer detailed how he was linked to the crime.
Captain Abe Montwedi testified that Majola was seen sitting near street vendors outside the building on the day of the murder. According to a witness, when DJ Warras exited the building and stood near his car, Majola allegedly told two other men, “Nangu lomuntu.” The words mean “here he is", and Captain Montwedi believes Majola was pointing out Stock to his accomplices.
Captain Montwedi further explained that after Majola’s signal, one of the men who was described as wearing a rasta hat, allegedly shot Stock several times. The three men then fled the scene on foot.
The investigating officer also testified that CCTV footage showed Majola arriving with the alleged shooter and sitting together with him before the incident, before leaving with him afterwards.
