9 September 2026 – The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has finalised its investigations in the matter involving media personality, Molemo Katleho Maarohanye, who is popularly known as Jub Jub and is ready to proceed with the prosecution. Maarohanye briefly appeared before the Germiston Magistrate’s Court after failing to appear at the previous court proceedings.
The NPA regional spokesperson in Gauteng, Magaboke Mohlatlole said during the court appearance, the state requested a postponement to allow sufficient time to fully furnish the defence with the docket contents. Mohlatlole said the matter was subsequently postponed to 17 September 2026.
“Maarohanye faces charges of possession of an imitation firearm with the intent to commit an offence and pointing of anything likely to cause a person to believe that it is a firearm. The charges arise from an incident involving an e-hailing driver in Edenvale on 14 June 2026.
“During the ensuing investigation, law enforcement officials seized a pellet gun at Maarohanye’s residence. The NPA reiterates its readiness to proceed with the matter and remains committed to ensuring that the prosecution is conducted fairly, impartially, and in accordance with the law,” she said.
