Overview
- Victor Majola appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court for a formal bail application on charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
- The investigating officer said CCTV footage shows Majola sitting with the shooter before the attack and cited a voice recording of Majola’s girlfriend about deleting potentially incriminating content.
- Police testified that a seized phone contained DJ Warras’s vehicle details and information about the building owner, which they allege was sent to Majola as part of orchestrating the crime.
- Majola’s affidavit claims the case is fabricated, says there is no forensic or cellphone evidence linking him to the killing, and states he was in Soweto at the time.
- Defense arguments highlight his December 22 arrest away from the scene, his licensed firearm seizure, lack of a passport, and personal circumstances presented to support bail, while the state opposes release.
