The funeral service of Warrick “DJ Warras” Stock is underway, with friends, family, and colleagues gathering to bid farewell to the popular DJ and businessman. He was shot dead in Johannesburg on December 16, leaving a void in the music and entertainment industry.
DJ Warras, 40, was killed while working with his security company at a hijacked building in the CBD, sparking widespread shock and outrage.
The live stream of the funeral service began at 10 am, allowing fans and followers to pay their respects to the fallen DJ.
In a significant development, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has arrested two suspects linked to DJ Warras’ murder, with charges of murder already laid.
The Gauteng Provincial Government has commended the SAPS for their swift action in arresting the suspects, just a day before the DJ’s funeral.
The arrests bring hope for justice for DJ Warras’ family, including his three young sons, who were present at his memorial service last Friday.
The memorial service, held in Sandton, Johannesburg, was a celebration of DJ Warras’ life, with tributes pouring in from friends, family, and colleagues.
Speakers highlighted his contribution to broadcasting, his infectious energy, and the impact he had on and off air, leaving a lasting legacy in the entertainment industry.
However, the memorial service was not without controversy, with actress and media personality Pearl Thusi facing backlash for her speech, deemed by many to be inappropriate for the occasion.
As the investigation into DJ Warras’ killing continues, the community comes together to mourn the loss of a talented and influential figure, and to support his loved ones.
