Molemo Maarohanye, popularly known as Jub Jub, was granted bail on June 16.

This follows an incident that occurred on June 14, when the 45-year-old star was arrested on charges of kidnapping, discharging a firearm in a public place and defeating the ends of justice, involving an e-hailing driver.

The incident took place in Edenvale, where Maarohanye allegedly accused the victim of having a romantic relationship with his girlfriend. He then allegedly forced the driver into his vehicle, prevented him from leaving, and discharged a firearm in the driver’s direction.
