The return of South Africa’s most controversial showman

Few South African TV personalities divide opinion quite like Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye. The rapper-turned-presenter is preparing to make his long-awaited return to Moja Love’s Uyajola 9/9, the explosive reality show that uncovers infidelity and exposes cheating partners in real time. The new season premieres on 2 November 2025 on DStv channel 157, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.

But as anticipation builds, a legal storm threatens to cast a shadow over his comeback.

The lawsuit that shook the timeline

Jub Jub is facing a R12 million lawsuit from a woman named Sheron Tose, who accuses the show of invading her privacy. According to court papers before the Johannesburg High Court, she claims that the Uyajola 9/9 crew entered her bedroom without permission and filmed her and her partner in a private moment.

The footage, she alleges, was taken without consent and caused “emotional trauma and humiliation.” The case has quickly become one of the most talked-about legal battles in South African entertainment, reigniting old debates about the ethics of reality television.

Mixed reactions online

As soon as the news broke, social media lit up with strong opinions. Some users called for the show to be cancelled entirely, arguing that its shock-driven format crosses moral and legal boundaries. One user wrote, “They must just cancel that show. It’s useless and unfair. It only embarrasses people.”

Others defended the presenter, insisting that Uyajola 9/9 gives viewers raw entertainment and teaches valuable lessons about honesty in relationships. One fan posted, “We’ve been waiting yoh, finally! Those of us who don’t cheat are safe.”

Then there were the light-hearted comments that showed how embedded the show is in local culture. “We missed you, Jub Jub! But why do I feel like this season ngizoba khona?” joked one follower.

A comeback against the odds

This is not Jub Jub’s first brush with controversy. He has previously faced criminal and civil cases, including a R120 000 fraud investigation, yet his resilience and ability to bounce back keep him at the centre of the country’s pop-culture conversation.

His return to Uyajola 9/9 reflects both public fascination and fatigue with celebrity scandal. For supporters, he symbolises redemption; for critics, he personifies the blurred line between entertainment and exploitation.

Whether or not the R12 million lawsuit affects the show’s future remains to be seen. For now, one thing is certain: when Uyajola 9/9 returns this November, South Africa will be watching and talking.
