The matter against Uyajola99 presenter and musician Molemo “Jub jub” Maarohanye has been postponed- again. A seemingly displeased Jub Jub appeared briefly at the Johannesburg Magistrates Court accompanied by his two uncles, a cousin and a bodyguard. Like a pantsula, he was dressed in a khakhi two piece with his shirt unbuttoned revealing his white vest and wore maroon and white velvet shoes.
Jub Jub is facing an array of charges ranging from multiple counts of rape, indecent assault, assault with an intention to cause grievous bodily harm and several counts of kidnapping. The matter was brought forward by three complaints who are in the public domain and once dated him. The matter was previously postponed to give the defence time to review information received from the state regarding the alleged assault and rapes.
Today, Jub Jub’s defence lawyer advocate Terrence Baloyi asked for another postponement. “I must place it on record that we have received further particulars which we had requested, they were not satisfactory, but I had a chat with my learned colleagues, and they said there’s nothing further that they can provide, therefore we will have to work with what we have, “said Baloyi.
He added that they have made a move to work by submission of facts which are based on a discussion he had with the stateState Prosecutor Agnes Bezuidenhout emphasised that she conversed with the defence and explained to him that they have furnished them with all the documents they requested. “I have indicated to the defence that we have given them all the information that we could, and he said they will request for a further postponement.
As the state we are not opposing that, however the investigation to this matter has been completed a long time ago, the defence has been provided with an annexure to the charges, “she said. The matter has been postponed to early March for the defence to make submissions to the state for representations for a way forward.
