Sandton businessman arrested for DJ Sumbody hit
It is understood that businessman Katiso 'KT' Molefe was arrested at his Sandton home on Monday.
Molefe and alleged hitmen Michael Pule Tau, Musa Kekana and Tlego Floyd Mabusela are before court and awaiting trial for the hit-style killing of Vereeniging engineer Armand Swart in April last year.
At the time of his arrest, Molefe was out on bail.
Kekana and Mabusela also face charges of attempted murder relating to a failed hit on actress and socialite Tebogo Thobejane, an attack allegedly set in motion by her former lover, tender don Vusimusi 'Cat' Matlala.
Sefoka was killed in Woodmead in November 2022.

Immigration Agents Laugh at U.S. Citizen as He Records His Own Arrest
As federal immigration agents attacked a U.S. citizen, they warned him: 'You've got no rights here.' What began as a simple traffic stop for Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old Floridian, in May turned into a traumatizing arrest when U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrived at the scene. Alongside his mother and two undocumented male companions, Laynez-Ambrosio was laughed at, ridiculed, and violently detained by a group of officers, according to video footage secretly captured by the teenager, first reported on by The Guardian. 'Wait, hold up,' Laynez-Ambrosio said when agents opened the door of their company work van. 'You guys have no rights to do that.''We don't have rights to do that?' one agent said, laughing. The video footage, panning upward, then shows the border patrol agents restraining one individual in a chokehold. All three men were forced out of their vehicle and onto the ground. As another companion is manhandled by three officers in tactical gear, the sound of a stun gun is heard going off, sending the man crashing onto the floor as he cries and shakes in agony. 'You can't be doing that,' Laynez-Ambrosio said. 'Get on the ground,' an officer screams at him. 'I'm not going to get up, I'm going to just stay like this,' Laynez-Ambrosio responds. 'Y'all scaring the dude.... I've got rights to talk.' 'You've got no rights here. You're a migo, brother,' an agent told Laynez-Ambrosio. 'I do,' Laynez-Ambrosio insisted. 'I was born and raised here.' In the aftermath of the violence, the ICE agents can be heard laughing and making light of the pain they inflicted on their arrestees, referring to the taser use as 'funny,' and insulting its target as a 'dick.' 'You can smell that … $30,000 bonus,' said another officer. Later, the officers can be heard claiming that more individuals have started to resist their arrests, anticipating even more extreme uses of force in future. 'We're going to end up shooting some of them,' an agent said, referencing Laynez-Ambrosio's attempts to assert his rights. 'This kid goes like. . . 'no, you can't do that,' I'm not doing shit. We told you already to get out, you either get out or I'm going to pull you out.' Federal authorities have been tasked by White House deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller to arrest 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day—but actually doing so has forced the agency to seek out immigrants that the administration did not advertise targeting, such as noncriminals and even lawful residents possessing visas or green cards. So far this year, ICE agents have been caught interrogating children, deporting U.S. citizens, and stuffing uncharged prisoners into America's very own concentration camp.

Trump administration releases documents in MLK assassination
The Trump administration on Monday released hundreds of thousands of documents related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., fulfilling a pledge from President Trump despite some reluctance from the civil rights icon's children. The release makes more than 230,000 pages of files digitally available. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said the documents include details about the FBI's investigation into King's killing in 1968, internal memos about the case and details about the pursuit of James Earl Ray, who was convicted of killing the civil rights leader. Some of the records had been publicized previously through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. But officials touted that the document dump was the first time they had been made available online with minimal redactions. 'Today's record release marks a historic step in the Trump Administration's ongoing commitment to transparency and accountability,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also serving as the interim head of the National Archives (NARA), said in a statement. 'Preserving, protecting, and releasing the records of the U.S. government is at the core of NARA's mission,' Rubio added. 'Thanks to President Trump's leadership and a coordinated interagency process, NARA was able to review and release the records at an unprecedented speed.' Martin Luther King III and Bernice King, the two living children of Martin Luther King Jr., issued a lengthy statement on Monday in which they urged the public to view the newly released records 'within their full historical context,' pointing to what they called an 'invasive, predatory, and deeply disturbing disinformation and surveillance campaign orchestrated' by the FBI. 'While we support transparency and historical accountability, we object to any attacks on our father's legacy or attempts to weaponize it to spread falsehoods,' the King children said in a statement. 'We strongly condemn any attempts to misuse these documents in ways intended to undermine our father's legacy and the significant achievements of the movement. Those who promote the fruit of the FBI's surveillance will unknowingly align themselves with an ongoing campaign to degrade our father and the Civil Rights Movement.' Within days of taking office in January, Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing the release of federal government documents related to the assassinations of King, former President John F. Kennedy and former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. King was shot and killed in Memphis in April 1968, and his assassination has remained the subject of conspiracy theories. 'While we continue to mourn his death, the declassification and release of these documents are a historic step towards the truth that the American people deserve,' King's niece, Alveda King, said in a statement shared by the Trump administration.

Chuck E. Cheese employee arrested in iconic mouse mask for using stolen credit card, police say
TALLAHASSEE — Wearing the furry mask of the iconic Chuck E. Cheese mascot mouse, an employee of the popular children's birthday destination was arrested for using a stolen credit card at one of the chain's Florida restaurants, police said. 'Chuck E, come with me Chuck E,' a police officer in Tallahassee told the suspect, 'stop resisting, you are being detained.' The arrest occurred Wednesday, according to the probable cause report from police, while photos from bystanders showed an officer removing the man's rodent mask — with its gray fur, exaggerated ears and perpetual smile — and placing it atop a Tallahassee Police Department vehicle. The investigation began when a woman called police to report that someone was using her child support Visa debit card, which she hadn't seen since a visit Chuck E. Cheese in late June, police records stated. Charges to the card were made at a smoke shop, grocery store and a Whataburger. The woman tracked down the suspect by going to the grocery store and viewing surveillance footage from the time her card was used, police records state. She recognized the man from the Chuck E. Cheese. When police officers arrived at the restaurant, one of them entered first to verify that the suspect was there. He was — and he wasn't wearing the mask. The suspect 'looked very nervous, he gazed at me with wide eyes and squared shoulders in a tensed demeaner,' a police officer later wrote in the probable cause report. The officer and another officer soon returned to the Chuck E. Cheese, where the suspect had since donned the rodent mask, police records stated. The officers asked another employee if the suspect was in the mouse suit. 'She shook her head up and down indicating yes,' the officer wrote.
