Media personality Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye has been released on R5 000 bail after the Gauteng Division of the High Court in Johannesburg granted an urgent application for his release, following his arrest over an alleged confrontation with an e-hailing driver in Edenvale.
According to police, the incident unfolded after an e-hailing driver dropped off a female passenger at a residence in Edenvale.
National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said: “It is alleged that at approximately 7.30am, the e-hailing driver had transported a female passenger to a residence in Edenvale when he was confronted by the suspect, who accused him of being involved in a romantic relationship with his girlfriend.”
She alleged that the confrontation escalated when the driver was prevented from leaving.
“The suspect allegedly forced the e-hailing driver into his vehicle and prevented him from leaving. During the incident, the suspect reportedly discharged a firearm in the direction of the driver. The e-hailing driver managed to escape unharmed and immediately drove to a nearby police station to report the matter,” Mathe said.
