Local artists lash out at Jub Jub

Doc Shebeleza has blasted Jub Jub for his actions.

The musician said the rapper, whose real name is Molemo Maarohanye has given local artists a bad name with his

reckless behaviour.

Shebeleza said: “As I read the story (of the accident) in Sowetan I thought as responsible musicians we have to come

down hard on Jub Jub. What was he thinking racing on such a road at peak time?

“How can we be respected when some people are behaving in this way? These children look up to us. Jub Jub was very

reckless,” he said.

Shebeleza later visited Jub Jub at the Protea Glen police station holding cells afterwhich he visited the Masemola family.

The singer offered his condolences to the family and he also assured them that not all musicians were irresponsible.

Various celebrities took to the social network site, Facebook to voice their opinions about the incident.

President Jacob Zuma's aid, Zizi Kodwa, wrote: “The reported tragic accident involving the kids who lost their lives in

Soweto is a pain I cannot even imagine. May God give strength and guidance to the families who lost their loved ones.”

Rapper PRO wrote: “Ahh, Jub Jub ... kanjani mfanakithi, (how can you my brother?). It’s all over now. My condolences

go out to the families of these kids.”

Poet Ntsiki Mazwai wrote: “I am still shocked that Jubi baby killed 5 (sic) kids ngenxa yeziyobisi (because of drugs)...

it’s gonna be a long journey for him.
