Johannesburg – Television presenter and rapper Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye has been granted R5,000 bail after successfully bringing an urgent High Court application over delays in his court appearance.
The 45-year-old was arrested on Sunday on allegations of kidnapping and firing shots at an e-hailing driver during a dispute linked to his girlfriend.
Although he was initially expected to appear in court on Monday, police postponed the appearance to Wednesday, prompting him to seek urgent legal relief.
