Family of late DJ Warras questions bail postponement

The sister of Warrick Stock, otherwise known as DJ Warras, questioned on Tuesday why the matter against a man accused of playing a role in his murder was postponed.

Victor Majola appeared briefly in the Johannesburg magistrates court on Tuesday morning where he was meant to apply for bail.

The matter was however postponed to next week, with no reasons provided by the state for its decision.

Stock’s sister, Nicole Stock-Mabuza, said she remained in the lurch regarding the reasons for the postponement of Majola's bail application.

Limping into the courtroom at the Johannesburg magistrates court on Tuesday morning, Majola’s bail application did not proceed as planned, with the state and his defence attorney both agreeing to a postponement to next week.

Majola faces charges of premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit murder in relation to the assassination of Stock on 16 December in the Johannesburg CBD last year.

Speaking to journalists following Majola’s brief appearance, Stock-Mabuza questioned the postponement.

She said they had to see what the outcome was going to be, adding that while she did not expect it to be so quick, she understood it was part of the process.

Majola will remain in custody until next Tuesday when he is expected to make a bid for bail.
