CONTROVERSIAL rapper Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye, is out on R10, 000 bail.
This after appearing briefly at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
He faces serious charges for rape, attempted murder and assault.
According to the Police, ‘Jub Jub’ handed himself in after the warrant of arrest was issued for him.
“Police can confirm that a well-known rapper handed himself over to the police in Brixton on Thursday, 27 July 2023, after a warrant of arrest was issued against him,” Gauteng police spokesperson Lt-Col Mavela Masondo in a statement issued to media.
“He is expected to appear before the Johannesburg magistrate’s court today facing charges of rape, attempted murder and assault.”
It has been confirmed that he appeared on charges of attempted murder and rape of his ex-girlfriend Amanda Du-Pont, who in 2021 brought claims of rape and physical abuse by ‘Jub Jub’ on Mac G “Podcast and Chill” podcast.
NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwana said they have a water-tight case against him.
In 2017, the rapper was released on parole after serving four years, one month and one day of his sentence after being sentenced to 25 years in prison for causing a car accident near a school on a public road that killed four children.
Since leaving prison the “Uyajola9/9” presenter had seemingly reformed his life and returned to making music and hosted the popular Moja Love show.
He has been ordered also to hand over his passport.
