In honour of his son’s 13th birthday, Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye wrote a touching letter to him. The media personality and musician also dedicated his latest single, ‘Solider’, featuring Emtee, to his son Christian and shared it on his social media timeline.
“Happy birthday to my champ, I dropped #soldier today on ‘your birthday’ because that is exactly what you are, the reason I keep pushing every day. You deserve this day today and many more mfana ka. Enjoy it and know that daddy loves you deeply,” he wrote

Despite his challenges, Jub Jub has made efforts over the years to connect with his son. However, his attempts have been complicated by the fact that his son’s mother, singer Kelly Khumalo, has been firm in her decision not to co-parent with him.
“I’m happy with my son hating me later, I’m totally happy with that. I’m raising an honourable man the best way I know how and what I have experienced at the hands of that person is enough for me to close the door completely,” Kelly said during her interview on Behind the Story.
She reiterated her stance in the first episode of her Showmax Original reality series Life With Kelly Khumalo season 3.
“I know a man who wants a relationship with his child when I see one, I will never stand in the way of that. Don’t disrespect me,” she said in her video diaries on the show.
