Jub Jub’s arrest warrant struck off the roll after he appears in court

Molemo 'Jub Jub' Maarohanye, a media personality and musician, had an outstanding arrest warrant removed from the court records after he appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court for a firearm-related case. The warrant was issued when Maarohanye failed to appear in court on August 24 due to claimed ill health. His legal team requested a postponement rather than immediate enforcement. The case involves an alleged confrontation with an e-hailing driver in June, where Maarohanye is accused of discharging a firearm in a public place and pointing an object resembling a firearm. The National Prosecuting Authority stated the state is prepared to prosecute, and a pellet gun was seized from his home during the investigation. Maarohanye denies the allegations, calling them fabricated.
