Jub Jub Faces Additional Charges as Legal Troubles Escalate
It’s currently not raining but pouring for Molemo Maarohanye, widely known by his stage name Jub Jub. The man now finds himself entangled in a legal quagmire once again, as new charges have been brought against him.
The rapper and TV personality, who first gained fame for his music, has been grappling with legal woes since his involvement in a 2010 fatal car accident that left four schoolchildren dead and several others injured. Jub Jub was released on parole in 2017 after serving approximately four years of his sentence. He served his time, and immediately made a major comeback to the industry after his release.
About a month ago, he was all excited as his Moja LOVE show Uyajola 9/9 was returning for a new season. Just before the season’s debut, Jub Jub‘s legal troubles took an unexpected turn. He appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on charges of attempted murder and rape of Amanda Du-Pont.
After he did an interview on Podcast and Chill with MacG about dating Amanda, Jub Jub’s troubles began. His tone, during the interview was sort of demeaning, as words like ‘smashing’ flew around. Amanda then accused Jub Jub of rape and attempted murder and opened a case against him in February 2022. The actress, TV personality and entrepreneur stated that Jub Jub, rapped her for a period of two years, but she was afraid to leave because of the power that his mother had. She further went to reveal that she had an abortion, because she couldn’t bring herself to raise a child who was a result of rape.
Explaining her silence over the years, Amanda said she kept quite because she didn’t want any drama in her life. The fact that Jub Jub and MacG dragged her on the show was the last straw, though. The case is now before the courts and everyone can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
Jub Jub, recently made a brief court appearance at the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court. He now faces 13 counts ranging from rapes, indecent assaults, kidnapping, assault and assault to cause grievous bodily harm.
