JOHANNESBURG - The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has dropped all charges against popular television presenter and rapper, Molemo "Jub Jub" Maarohanye.
Maarohanye was accused of rape, attempted murder and assault, allegedly committed between 2006 and 2009.
The charges were brought by four women in 2022, one of whom was his ex-girlfriend.
According to NPA spokesperson, Phindile Mjonondwane, the charges were dropped because there were no reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution.
"This decision follows careful consideration of the police case docket, the prosecutor's report and recommendations, coupled with information that was made available to the NPA through representations submitted by the defence to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP)."
