Cape Town – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has reportedly denied reports that the case against DJ Fresh and DJ Euphonik has been reopened.
According to TimesLive, the NPA says the matter “remains the same”.
“The status of the matter remains the same, no new information has come to light. However, in a case where there has been no prosecution, investigation strands that were not initially pursued because of time limitations, for example, might be pursued to see if they will yield anything new, that might perhaps lead to a reconsideration of the matter, ” the report quoted NPA spokesperson Lumka Mahanjana as saying.

This comes after the woman amidst the alleged rumours took to Twitter on Sunday to declare that the case has been reopened.
“Case reopened. Thank you all for your support,” she tweeted.

The woman, who goes by her social media handle @Nampree came forth last year and alleged that the two DJs Fresh, whose real name is Thato Sikwane, and Euphonik, whose real name is Themba Nkosi allegedly drugged and raped her over a decade ago whilst she was still a student.
Nampree’s representative, Brenda Madumise-Pajibo also vindicated her client’s recent tweet and confirmed that the case has indeed been reopened.
“We’re waiting to hear the reason they’ve decided to reopen it. Remember that once the DJs announced on Twitter that the NPA had decided not to prosecute, we launched a formal dispute and grievance against the police. They then undertook to investigate what had transpired with the case.
“We’ve been very consistent,” said Madumise-Pajibo as quoted by IOL.
Last year, the National Prosecuting Authority dismissed the case due to “insufficient evidence”.
