Africa Daily reports that the Uber driver had just arrived at the complex to drop off a female passenger. Out of nowhere, the 45-year-old Uyajola 9/9 host reportedly confronted the driver, aggressively accusing him of secretly dating his girlfriend.

The tense confrontation quickly turned dangerous as the driver attempted to leave the premises. The traumatised Uber driver allegedly told officers that Maarohanya, who is reportedly dating actress Vuyiseka Cawe, pulled out a firearm and discharged a shot at him.

Fearing for his life, the driver is said to have raced straight to the nearest police station to report the shooting. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the block was quickly locked down by law enforcement.

Police recovered one empty cartridge at the scene, and an elite SAPS K9 unit was immediately deployed to hunt for the weapon. While Jub Jub insisted that he does not even own a gun, forensics and ballistics teams from the Local Criminal Record Centre have already processed the scene.

A heavy case of attempted murder has been officially opened at the Edenvale Police Station, and the TV star remains locked up.
