JOHANNESBURG – The National Prosecuting Authority has confirmed that musician and TV presenter Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye was released on bail following an urgent court application.

According to the NPA, Maarohanye was arrested on Sunday. Details around the charges and the bail amount have not yet been released by the prosecuting authority. Maarohanye is known for his music career and as a presenter on Moja Love’s Uyajola 9/9.

Media personality and television host Molemo Maarohanye, better known as Jub Jub, has been released on R5,000 bail after the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg granted an urgent application over delays in his first court appearance.

The ruling, handed down on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, comes two days after the 45-year-old was arrested following an alleged confrontation involving an e-hailing driver in Edenvale.

The High Court ordered Maarohanye's release on bail and postponed the matter to Monday, June 22, 2026, when it is expected to proceed in the Germiston Magistrate's Court while investigations continue.

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said the charge currently before the court is one of pointing anything likely to lead a person to believe that it is a firearm.
