Jub Jub to be freed soon - report

Jailed hip-hop star Molemo "Jub Jub" Maarohanye is likely to be released on parole as early as next year.

Maarohanye will be considered for parole when he completes half of his sentence in December.

Correctional Services spokesman Singabakho Nxumalo confirmed that the award-winning musician will be considered for parole in December.

"In terms of DCS (Department of Correctional Services) policy, an offender does not apply for parole but will automatically be considered for possible placement on parole once a certain portion of the sentence has been completed. In this case, the offender will be considered after completion of half of the sentence which is at the end of 2016," he said.
