Case against Jub Jub postponed to February

The case against rapper and Uyajola 9/9 presenter Molemo Maarohanye, popularly known as Jub Jub, has been postponed to February next year.

The rapper made his appearance in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.

During his court appearance last month, the rapper, through his legal representative, asked for his case to be postponed to next year due to a work tour commitment.

Maarohanye was arrested in July and is facing 13 charges, including rape, attempted murder, assault and kidnapping.

He was released on R10 000 bail and has denied all charges.

According to the NPA, one of the complainants opened a case of rape in February last year and alleged the incidents happened between 2006 and 2009 while she was in a relationship with him.

“She decided to approach the police following Maarohanye’s degrading comments about her on a podcast,” said the NPA.

“After seeing her speaking out about her ordeal on social media, more women decided to come forward and tell their stories.”
