On January 6, 2026, Nicole Stock-Mabuza, the sister of the beloved DJ Warras, captured hearts as she spoke outside the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court following the appearance of Victor Mthethwa Majola, who stands accused of her brother's murder. This poignant moment marked a significant chapter in a painful journey for the Stock family, navigating their first festive season without DJ Warras.
Emotionally Charged Reflections
Outside the courthouse, Nicole addressed a throng of journalists, sharing the profound sense of loss felt by the family. In a heartfelt video shared by SABC News on X (Twitter), she spoke candidly about the emotional void left behind.
“We all missed him. Boys as well. A lot. We feel it. It’s now becoming more real. You know, the void is real, and the only thing that can actually fill that void is prayer to God. Hence, we reached out to a nation to roll with us in prayer, to stand with us in solidarity. I think that's important because right now we need God, we need Christ,”
she expressed, radiating strength amidst her grief.
Nicole emphasized her family's commitment to justice, urging everyone to trust the legal process in the face of tragedy.
“We need love, we need support. Anger and revenge are not gonna get us to where we need to be. We need to all just trust the process that's taking place right now,”
she added with a touch of hope.
A Call to Action Against Gun Violence
In a powerful plea, Nicole Stock-Mabuza also called for a unified approach to curb gun violence—a rampant issue that has claimed the lives of many, including her brother, DJ Warras. She underscored the importance of mentorship for the youth, highlighting the dire need for positive role models.
“So now it's up to us as adults and as South Africans to be mentors to our children, to the youth, to the teenagers. I mean, yeah, you see these three boys that have been left behind, but how many boys are without fathers? How many boys are without mothers?”
She urged people to move past blame and unite for a common cause. “When we unite, and we hold each other, this is where we get the answers that we need, not what we want, that we need, and that's good for us,”
Nicole concluded, reinforcing the message of solidarity.
