Mzansi is still reeling from shock following the horrific car accident that claimed the life of Caven Masetla, popularly known as DJ Poizen and four more lives, leaving Chymamusique and another injured.

The accident occurred on Saturday morning on the N1 near Ysterberg Mountain, outside Polokwane.

Departmental spokesperson Tidimalo Chuene said two sedans collided head-on before catching fire. Tidimalo added that four of the deceased were burnt beyond recognition.

“Preliminary reports suggest one of the vehicles may have attempted to overtake when the crash occurred. Although the investigation is ongoing, reckless driving has not been ruled out as a contributing factor,” said Tidimalo.

The Southern African Music Rights Organisation (SAMRO) released a statement extending its heartfelt condolences to DJ Poizen’s family, friends, colleagues and the music community at large.

“A former member of House Victimz, Poizen was admired for his contributions to South African dance music. He will be remembered as a talented and beloved DJ, composer, music producer, and creative force in the local music scene.”
