The media personality sought to be released on R1 000 bail but was granted R10 000.
The media personality has denied all charges and sought bail of R1 000. He was later released on R10 000 bail. The case was postponed to 24 August.
In his application for bail, Jub Jub detailed how he and his family relied on income he got from TV channel Moja Love, where he is a host of popular reality show“I am the breadwinner of my family. All my immediate family members are residents in SA and we are a very close-knit family that gets along very well.”
Despite a previous conviction, Jub Jub said he was commited to keeping the law, and believed the charges against him were “engineered”. “I am a law-abiding citizen and the principles which guides my lifestyle are strictly against the commission of any offences and/or transgression,” he said in his affidavit.“We do not regard Mr. Maarohanye as a flight risk. He is not of any danger to the complainants or the witnesses in this case.”
