Trouble in paradise as a business mogul and promoter Keabetswe Mokoena sues Jub Jub R800k. He has been trending of late. Uyajola 99 host Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye is sued R800 000 by the event organiser and business partner Keabetswe Mokoena. This comes after he allegedly cost her more than R800 000 for a botched arts festival in the Northwest province.
The event organiser, Keabetswe Mokoena, accused the Uyajola 99 host Jub Jub of costing her over R800 000 for the botched festival. She also served Maarohanye with protection after he reportedly swore at her, called her names, and threatened her livelihood.
Reports have it that the celebrated business mogul has since instructed her lawyers Monyai Tshilidzi Attorneys to serve him with a letter of demand accompanying the protection order. She claims the media personality insulted her in WhatsApp text messages by calling her a bitch and threatening her life.
“Stop sending our client messages on WhatsApp telling her that she does not know people and that you will show her who you are … Our client has informed us that she is scared because of messages of threats and intimidation that you keep sending her, threatening her life.”
“[Stop] hurling insults at our client by calling her a ‘bitch’ and insulting her [by referring to] her mother’s private parts in a WhatsApp group … [Stop] sending her voice notes on WhatsApp threatening to kill her and/or disrupt her business.”

Rumour mill has managed to connect the dots between the two working relations. It has since been established that they are co-directors of a nonprofit organisation called the Raah Foundation. The organisation was meant to host a two-day Moses Kotane Arts Festival at Moruleng Stadium this past weekend.
On its lineup, it had some of Mzansi’s finest. Musicians Sibongile Mngoma, Stoan Seate, Focalistic, and Amaroto couldn’t perform after the festival got postponed at the eleventh hour because of various issues. Maarohanye claimed he pulled out of the festival because Mokoena wanted to use his name to obtain money from certain individuals and underpay artists.
“When I started the project, my vision was to uplift the arts and mend broken dreams in the community of Moses Kotane, where many young people have lost hope. I thought that collaborating with certain individuals would make that vision tangible, but it certainly didn’t,” he wrote.
“The person who I believed to be my business partner decided to use my name to extort money from key individuals and mislead people with false accusations, bringing my brand into disrepute.”
The event organiser has rubbished the TV host’s claims and approached his employer Moja Love to intervene.
