BREAKING. M-Net not distancing itself from controversial reality TV contestant Jub Jub after chaotic bail application.


M-Net is still not distancing itself from the controversial hip hop artist Jub Jub (Molemo ''Jub Jub'' Maaronhanye) after Jub Jub's bail application today at the Protea Magistrate's Court turned completely chaotic with revelations of drug abuse by the accused, as well as the police who had to disperse the crowd of mostly students with rubber bullets.

Jub Jub is still officially a part of the general entertainment TV channel's latest season of Survivor SA. His charity remains connected to the show and the highly controversial artist could also still make an appearance at the live finale of the show on Wednesday, 21 April - if he's not to remain behind bars.

After the horrific car crash that Jub Jub has allegedly been involved in and in which four children died, the artist is facing four murder charges with his co-accused Themba Tshabalala: two attempted murder charges, one charge of reckless and negligent driving, as well as a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. Today the court heard that both tested positive for traces of cocaine as well as morphine.

Asked for comment and whether M-Net has any statement or comment regarding Jub Jub's continued involvement, or not, in Survivor SA Santa Carolina, the broadcaster just had a terse reply that ''our answer is still the same as last week''. THAT would be this answer from M-Net from last Tuesday, exactly a week ago.

Jub Jub's bail application is set to continue tomorrow, on Thursday,18 April.
