“Everything was taken away in the blink of an eye”

Jub Jub refused to share whether he had met with the victims’ families, saying: “Out of respect for the families that lost their kids … What happens with myself and the families is not for anybody.”

He added: “Everything was taken away in the blink of an eye from having the accident.”

When Thembekile Mrototo asked: “Taken away by yourself?” He responded: “Not really, I guess the choices.”

He said the accident still haunts him. “A good part of me died as well … When you find yourself alone, you just remember … you try to sleep, you see visions. You try to move on with your life then you are reminded.”

He claimed his time in prison made him a better person.

“Prison is the only place that actually forced me to be alone, to reconnect with God, amadlozi (ancestors), no matter what.

“Because of the life that I was living, I had no time for what my ancestors wanted me to do. I had no time with God and I regret all my actions and the accident. I don’t regret going to prison because there’s a life lesson that I learned.”

The Uyajola9/9 presenter is out on bail, facing three counts of rape, two counts of attempted murder and one count of assault, brought by four different accusers.
