WATCH: Jub Jub takes a shot at winning hearts again

He has released a gospel single titled Awesome God.


A lot has been written and said about Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye, but the hip-hop star says after four years, one month and a day behind bars for culpable homicide, he is more than ready to make great music for his fans.

“I’ve had my fun. I’ve had the cars, I’ve had the money. I’m not about that now. I’m here to give my fans everything I have deprived them for the past five to seven years,” Maarohanye says.

The Ndikhokhele Bawo hitmaker explains that he will also clean up what was negatively said about him in the media.

In 2012, Maarohanye and his co-accused, Themba Tshabalala, were sentenced to 25 years in jail each for murder, attempted murder and three related offences after crashing their cars into a group of schoolboys in 2010, killing four of them and maiming two others.

In 2014, their murder conviction was overturned to culpable homicide, and their sentence reduced to eight years. On January 5 this year, both were released on parole.
