The popular media personality and Uyajola 9/9 presenter, Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye, recently appeared at the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court, accompanied by two bodyguards and his two uncles.
However, his legal troubles seem to be far from over as he faces a total of 13 charges, including rape, indecent assault, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and kidnapping.
The matter was presided over by Magistrate Betty Khumalo, who announced that the case was remanded for the consideration of relaxing Jub Jub’s bail conditions on April 25th, 2024.
In her statement, Magistrate Khumalo said, “Mr Maarohanye, your case has been adjourned to allow for the consideration of relaxing your bail conditions on April 25th. However, I have scheduled June 13th to await the decisions of the Director of Public Prosecutions.”

Jub Jub’s defence attorney had previously requested a postponement to submit a representation to the Director of Public Prosecutions. State prosecutor Agnes Bezuidenhout did not oppose the delay and stated that they are ready to proceed with the case.
She explained, “I have informed the defence that we have provided them with all the available information, and they have indicated their intention to request a further postponement.
“As the state, we do not oppose this request. However, it is important to note that the investigation into this matter was completed some time ago. The defence has also been provided with an annexure to the charges.”
Jub Jub’s legal battles continue, and the outcome of the bail conditions relaxation request remains to be seen. South African fans of Uyajola 9/9 will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on the developments in this high-profile case.
