Jub Jub’s lawyer says current case taking toll on his client
Maarohanye made a brief appearance at the Germiston Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Molemo "Jub Jub" Maarohanye, a well-known media figure, is facing legal troubles that are reportedly affecting his well-being and career prospects. His lawyer, Henry Motsemme, revealed that the ongoing case is causing his client significant stress, as he is finding it challenging to secure employment like he normally would. Maarohanye made a brief court appearance in Germiston Magistrate’s Court on Monday following a missed previous hearing.
The TV host faces charges related to an alleged incident involving an e-hailing driver in Edenvale in June. His legal team stated that his client was unwell during his court appearance and that he misplaced the medical report from his doctor. Motsemme explained that the medical certificate may have accidentally fallen out of the car in which Maarohanye was being transported, as he had already received copies for the legal team via email.
The lawyer further mentioned that the legal issues are taking a toll on his client, who is stressed and struggling to find new work due to his public persona. Despite the challenges, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) remains committed to proceeding with the case. The NPA has already concluded its investigations and postponed the matter to provide the defense with the relevant docket contents.
Maarohanye has vehemently denied the allegations against him, describing them as exaggerated fabrications.
