According to the NPA, four complainants opened cases against him. The alleged crimes happened between 2006 - 2010 and one of the women opened a case in February 2022.

Speaking on Jub Jub's behalf, his lawyer said the star will plead not guilty to the alleged crimes. He added that this case is a plot to bring his client down because he is currently doing well in his career.

"These are some fabricated charges, based on some form of resentment for one another. Basically, it's a ploy to say this guy has come out of prison, he is now successful so let's bring him down.

"We are talking about something that happened in 2006. Where were they all along? Why did they wait until now, when they saw the man is rising? It's unfair, this is why I was saying perhaps our women are given too much power to exploit the criminal justice system and bring successful men down. It's wrong."

Briefly News spoke to Sabrina Walter, the Chairperson of Women For Change SA who welcomed the NPA's decision to charge the Uyajola 9/9 presenter.

"As an organization, we welcome the NPA's decision to charge Jub Jub with r*pe and murder. Our hope is that the justice system will do its job because too often we see perpetrators walking free. It's time that perpetrators serve the time they deserve and exonerate victims and survivors from the trauma of their perpetrators' freedom."

Walter also said they hope actress Amanda Du Pont and the other three accusers get the justice they deserve.

"The justice system has never given us reasons to believe we can put our faith in it. We can only hope that Amanda and all the other victims get the just they deserve. It is overdue to get justice for the women and children of South Africa. We haven’t seen any change in the past years; all we see are skyrocketing GBVF statistics."

Speaking about the social media users who were accusing Amanda of bringing up the case more than a decade later because she wants to ruin Jub Jub's thriving career, the Women For Change SA founder said:

"The climate of our country keeps proving that we've normalised victim blaming and shaming. The r*pe culture is alive and thriving. This is evident on social media especially. We're saddened and aggregated by such mindsets and ideologies. We can only respond to those individuals by asking them why it is easier to side with the accused. Why haven't statics and being the r*pe capital of the world not widened your limited views of stories from victims and survivors like Amanda Du Pont?"
