Nokuthula Dlamini, the soapie’s line producer, affirmed that the Ndikhokhele hitmaker would no longer be part of the cast. She elaborated on the situation, saying. “We were still in the process of signing a contract with him when the SABC. We decided to refrain from going ahead with him. If the cases are dropped, to my understanding. We might review our decision. You would understand there was and will still be a lot of noise around him, and that was not going to be good for us as a brand.”
Similarly, Jub Jub’s involvement with Clash of The Choirs took a sudden and unexpected turn. The show’s representative, Venessa Tloubatla, appeared to feign ignorance about this particular development.
Initially charged with three counts of rape. Two counts of attempted murder, and assault when he voluntarily surrendered to the Brixton police station earlier this month.

In light of the severity of these charges, Jub Jub’s lawyer, Ntsako Baloyi. Requested a postponement of the case to November 8th, further prolonging the legal saga that has gripped the nation. The case has attracted significant attention, not least because four women have come forward with complaints against Jub Jub. These women include Amanda, who made the initial allegations.
