DJ Sumbody’s associate presses charges against ’28s gang boss’

Following an urgent interdict filed in the Western Cape High Court in April, businessman Kagiso Setsetse has opened a criminal case against alleged 28s gang boss Ralph Stanfield. Setsetse – who co-owns Ayepyep Lifestyle with slain musician DJ Sumbody – has accused Stanfield of threatening him and hijacking the Ayepyep branch in Cape Town.

Sunday World reports that Setsetse – who fled to Dubai almost three months ago – also pressed criminal charges against Stanfield’s wife Nicole Johnson, her cousin Saadiq Peterson and their alleged gangster employee Warren Dennis.

The publication reports that Western Cape provincial police spokesperson Colonel Andree Traut said a case was registered at the Brooklyn police station in Gauteng. He added that the case docket is en route to Cape Town.

ALLEGED THREATS AGAINST SETSETSE AND DJ SUMBODY

Oupa John Sefoka, aka DJ Sumbody, was murdered in a hail of bullets in Woodmead, Johannesburg, in November last year. Although no arrests have been made, Setsetse claimed that Stanfield threatened them before the Suk’Emabhozeni hitmaker’s death.

In his court interdict, he claimed that the alleged gang leader would send them pictures of people getting murdered.

“He showed us a video of a story on the news of luxury vehicles being vandalised at a business located in Cape Town for which he claimed that he was responsible,” Setsetse alleged in his application.

The vehicle incident in question is an attack on the Toy Shop in Milnerton. At the time, Stanfield’s cousin was reportedly arrested; however, the charges were later withdrawn.

Last month, the Daily Maverick reported that Setsetse had informed the investigative officer in DJ Sumbody’s murder case that he would do his interview virtually or in writing.

“The underworld has serious contacts in most authorities’ ranks, and they would know I’m in the country, thus putting my life at risk,” he said.

SETSETSE SAYS RALPH STANFIELD HIJACKED AYEPYEP

In the court papers, Setsetse disclosed that DJ Sumbody introduced him to Stanfield – who portrayed himself as a family man. He planned to run their security when they opened the Ayepyep branch in Cape Town. He is said to have told them they would be unable to operate because other gangsters would demand money from them or close them down.

However, business was not rosey between the Ayepyep owners and the alleged gang leader as he insisted on calling the shots. He reportedly brought a security company to ensure safety in the club. He insisted that his cousin be appointed an “administration lady” while his wife, Nicole Johnson, ran the business because Setsetse and DJ Sumbody were in Gauteng.

After a while, the suspected mafia boss allegedly demanded shares and told the owners to issue the share certificate to his mother-in-law, Barbara Johnson. When they refused, Stanfield allegedly threatened to close the operation and threatened staff.

“We issued the share certificate but decided against it before we could sign or register it at the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission,” said the businessman in the court papers.

Stanfield reportedly was unhappy with the shares and demanded all of the club’s ownership.

Setsetse’s court order was to force Stanfield to return all 14 of the club’s speed points as his men were instructed to remove them and replace them with speed points belonging to his wife’s cousin, who was receiving all the club’s funds.

In addition, he wanted access to the CCTV camera system, which he claims he was disconnected from and for Stanfield to keep a 500 metres distance from him and his company.
