Businessman Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe will remain behind bars after his bid for bail failed earlier today.

According to The Witness, Molefe appeared in the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court, accused of being the mastermind behind the murder of South African artist Oupa John ‘DJ Sumbody’ Sefoka.

Molefe had previously argued that being charged with murder should not automatically disqualify him from being granted bail.

The magistrate disagreed and sided with the state’s argument that Molefe is a dangerous individual with alleged deep criminal connections.

At the time of his arrest for Sefoka’s killing, Molefe was out on R100 000 bail in another murder case.

The court also heard how Molefe is allegedly involved in the illicit drug trade and has been implicated in several alleged dodgy tenders and corrupt business dealings.
