Live: DJ Warras Memorial Service | 19 December 2025

The South African media industry, friends, and family gather in Sandton today to celebrate the life and legacy of Warrick "DJ Warras" Stock. The 40-year-old media personality, entrepreneur, and activist—affectionately known as "The Shady Lurker"—was tragically gunned down in the Johannesburg CBD on December 16, 2025. This memorial service honors his immense contribution to radio and television, from his days at YFM and 5FM to his iconic role on SABC’s Live AMP. As the nation mourns, calls for justice grow louder following reports that the shooting may have been a targeted hit linked to his work in reclaiming hijacked buildings.
