Moja Love officials distance themselves from Jub Jub's views on looting
In related news, Briefly News reported that Moja Love has released an official statement distancing themselves from the recent utterings of Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye. The Uyajola 9/9 host shared a video expressing some strong views about the recent protests in the country.
In a statement released by the TV channel to Briefly News, it said the views expressed by him are not in line with their own. Moja Love went on to extend their sympathies and support to the many small black businesses, entrepreneurs, and informal traders who form the lifeblood of the township and CBD economy.
Briefly News questioned Moja Love on whether a disciplinary process was pending for Jub Jub after his utterings:
"Upon discovery of the circulating videos, Moja Love reprimanded and warned Jub Jub against the statements over the protests and he apologised and realises that his utterances were wrong. Moja Love does not condone violence in any way or form," said Bokani Moyo, spokesperson of the channel.
