Julle se p**s – Exit Rockaz on questions over UK show

Exit Rockaz, real name David Shikalepo

Namibian kwaito and hip-hop artist Exit Rockaz, real name David Shikalepo, last week lost his cool when asked for comment on two United Kingdom-based Namibian ‘shoplifters’, who also organised a show he headlined.

According to reports, two Namibian asylum seekers recently went on an alleged shoplifting expedition in the United Kingdom, stealing designer handbags.

The pair is also said to have been involved in organising a music event the artist headlined last year.

Frans Epentrius (29) and Tobias Iileka (33), who are both waiting for their asylum seeking applications to be processed by the UK home office, allegedly took a trip to Bluewater Shopping Centre at Greenhithe to steal the items.

The pair allegedly entered the John Lewis store on 23 December, with Iileka armed with wire cutters.
Epentrius is then said to have put a small black handbag valued at £550 (about N$11 417) into a brown paper bag.

Rockaz was recently the headline act of the ‘End of Year’ show in Manchester, England, which is believed to have been co-organised by Epentrius and Iileka.

The Namibian last week approached the musician for comment on his ties to the alleged shoplifters.

His response was: “That is not my story, don’t ask me stupid questions. I went to perform and I did my work in Manchester.”

This was accompanied by various swear words, before he abruptly ended the call.

In a second attempt to speak to Rockaz, he carried on cursing and hung up again.

“Fck you, voetsek! Julle se p*s!” he said.

‘P**s’ is a vulgar Afrikaans term for female genitalia.
