It has been six months since businessman DJ Sumbody, real name Oupa John Sefoka, was shot and killed. The Monate Mpolaye singer was gunned down in a hail of bullets alongside his bodyguard while on his way from a performance in Woodmead. Since then, his family has been at loggerheads with his business partners and lover. His long-term partner Oretlotlile Moloi has also been reported to have been evicted by his family from the home she shared with the late deejay.

PACKING UP

Oretlotlile and DJ Sumbody dated for 13 years and had been living together in their plush home in Copperleaf Golf Estate, Centurion for six years. A close friend of Tlotlisang tells ZiMoja that, "The family gave her time to grieve. But feel she can no longer live at the house," she says. "They have been together for a long time, but they were not married and she understands this. They didn’t ask her to leave immediately or return any of the things he had bought her but she can’t continue to live at that house."

NOT STRUGGLING

Oretlotlile has since addressed the reports saying that she is not struggling and she comes from a well-off family that can take care of her needs. "I am well taken care of. I am not struggling," she says. "Even at home, we are okay, my parents still work, and they can take care of me. I am so blessed to have been given a car and a house," she said. Oretlotlile adds that her late boyfriend took care of her. "Some of you, your boyfriends don’t even buy you anything, they even take wigs they bought you after the relationship comes to an end. I have a house and a car."

CONFLICT OVER BUSINESS

There has been much conflict around DJ Sumbody’s estate after his mother, Violet Sefoka, was appointed the executor of his estate. A few weeks ago, Violet was banned by his business partner Kagiso Setsetse from Ayepyep nightclub. Kagiso forcefully removed DJ Sumbody’s mother after she allegedly "unlawfully" instructed the club staff members to hand over equipment, including speed point bank card terminals. Kagiso and DJ Sumbody entered a written shareholders agreement in October 2017 which states that should one of the shareholders die, the executor of the estate shall be deemed to have offered the deceased shares to the existing shareholder at a fair value. "The remaining shareholder shall be entitled, within a period of 15 business days, following the presentation in writing of the independent auditor’s valuation, of the deceased shareholders’ shares. Whenever the fair value of a share is required to be determined, the shareholders shall attempt to agree to such value in writing."
