The family of the late DJ Sumbody, real name Oupa Sefoka, is still seeking closure for their son, who was murdered on the morning of his birthday bash in a hail of bullets in Johannesburg along with a friend. The musician was killed in cold blood and no arrests have been made almost two years after his murder. To continue his legacy, his family plans to celebrate Heritage Month by hosting a charity event in memory of the late Lepara La Pitori hitmaker.

GIVING

Ayepyep Lifestyle Cape Town, where DJ Sumbody had a stake, has partnered with The DJ Sumbody Foundation, which is run by his family for the annual Ayepyep Cape Town Charity Gold Day taking place on 20 September at the prestigious Clovelly Golf Club in the beautiful motherland. The family aims to continue the DJ's legacy by giving back over R100 000 to the underprivileged community of Eyabantu Educare, which is home to over 200 children.

LEGACY

The late star's brother and chairman of the foundation, Koketso Sefoka, said, "The DJ Sumbody Foundation is a legacy project founded by the Sefoka family and partners to be a vehicle of change to the fans of my brother's work," Sefoka said. "We aim to be an agent of change when it comes to issues such as entrepreneurship, education, and the arts. The Ayepyep Golf Day is just one of the initiatives that we plan on using as tools to help empower the younger generation.' The Ayepyep Charity Golf Day will be a day of celebrity guests who adored the DJ while he was still alive. Although the family is still battling to come to terms with his passing, they are working towards healing. "It's been tough, we still need answers,' his brother added.
