SA Hip Hop star Cassper Nyovest has spoken out against gun violence in the country amid news of DJ Mashata’s death.
According to recent reports, DJ Peter Mashata was fatally shot in Shoshanguve on Saturday night. Addressing the media, Gauteng police spokesperson Col Noxolo Kweza his death and shared that the incident occurred close to Tshwane University of Technology (TUT).
“The two victims were driving near TUT (Tshwane University of Technology) in Soshanguve when shots were fired at their vehicle. The suspects fled and police are following several leads.”
Mzansi has since lamented the absence of law and order in the country, with all the murders happening. Cassper Nyovest lent his voice to the outcry. The rapper wrote about DJ Mashata,
“Rest In Peace Mashata bra yaka. You were such a gentle, genuine guy. Sad news.”
In another tweet, he wrote,
“The gun violence in South Africa is just scary. These are people’s kids, fathers, brothers and sisters that are senselessly getting killed. Criminals have realised that they can do as they wish and nothing is being done about it. It’s just sad to watch and painful to live in this country which used to be such a bliss.”
Replying a fan who told him to stay safe, Cass wrote,
“We are only safe in God’s hands. South Africa is lawless. It’s so sad to see what our country has become. It’s not even fun anymore to be outside nje. Id rather watch a movie.”
