GAUTENG - Victor Majola's bail application has been remanded for judgment to be delivered.

Majola was arrested in connection with the murder of Warwick 'DJ Warras' Stock, the popular radio and television show host. DJ Warras was gunned down on 16 December 2025 outside the Zambesi Building in the Johannesburg Central Business District.

He was allegedly there to inspect the building, which had been hijacked, when he was shot dead outside. Despite the police previously claiming that they had identified the killers and were close to making an arrest, thanks to the CCTV footage, only Majola was arrested.

The 44-year-old is reportedly dating a woman known as Hlengiwe, who was one of the people Stock had takena protection order out against.

Majola's bail application remanded

Majola will remain behind bars until Monday, 26 January 2026, as his matter has been remanded. The matter was remanded to allow the judge to deliberate over the evidence and deliver a verdict.

Majola's lawyer, Advocate Bongani Mabundla, indicated that he would not be available during the course of the next week, prompting a lengthier delay.

Defence introduces video evidence

Majola appeared before the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on 13 January 2026 for bail, but the matter dragged on through the week.

Large parts of the proceedings focused on the video evidence the State claimed it had, which showed Majola at the scene on the day of the murder.

The defence lawyer, Advocate Mabunda, disputed this, saying that his client had an alibi. In Majola's affidavit, he said that he was in Soweto on the day of the murder.

A mechanic in Soweto also submitted an affidavit stating that Majola was with him on the day in question. The defence lawyer also produced its own video footage on 16 January 2026, saying that it proved that his client was not at the scene on the day of the murder.
