In December last year, Maarohanye and his co-accused Themba Tshabalala were each sentenced to 25 years in jail.
The two were each sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for murder and four years imprisonment for attempted murder.
For use of drugs, driving under the influence of drugs, and racing on a public road, they got a year for each count, to run concurrently.
They were drag-racing in Protea North on March 8, 2010, when they crashed into a group of schoolboys. Prince Mohube, Mlungisi Cwayi, Andile Mthombeni, and Phomello Masemola were killed. Frank Mlambo and Fumani Mushwana were left permanently brain damaged. Picture: Werner Beukes/SAPA
Jub Jub was not stabbed in prison. This morning a story broke that convicted singer Jub Jub had been stabbed in the stomach and thighs whilst playing soccer at the prison. Now the Department of Correctional Services has denied the reports.
A ‘source’ had told a local publication that Jub Jub was stabbed with a handmade knife after getting into an argument with another prisoner whilst playing soccer. The reports also said shots were fired and all the prisoners laid down on the ground‚ with their hands over their heads.
The Correctional Services Department Gauteng spokesperson Ofentse Morwane told News24 that the report was “incorrect and extremely misleading”.
“The department has noted with concern these continuously repeated lies that are being carried by certain media houses,” Morwane said.
