DJ Tira Faces Ransom Threat: Criminals Demand R55,000 for Stolen Hard Drives

Renowned South African DJ, Tira, has received a chilling ultimatum from the thief who recently ransacked his Afrotainment Studio. The criminal is demanding R55,000 in exchange for the safe return of the hard drives stolen during the heist, with details of the drop-off location to be provided later.

DJ Tira, concerned about losing valuable music projects, initially offered R25,000 for the recovery of the drives, which contain unreleased material from major artists like Big Zulu, Kabza De Small, and Nkosazana Daughter. However, the thief has raised the stakes, warning that if DJ Tira involves the authorities or attempts any other tricks, there will be severe repercussions, including harm to his loved ones.

The situation has prompted an urgent response from the South African Police Service’s Central Intelligence Unit, who are now investigating the case. Despite the ongoing investigation, DJ Tira is caught in a difficult position, as he wants to recover the hard drives without risking harm to his family or losing the unreleased music. The story is developing, and more details are expected to emerge as the police and DJ Tira navigate this tense situation.
