Jub Jub's 25year Sentence Overturned And Reduced To Just 8 Years Jail Time

BREAKING NEWS: Hip-hop artist Molemo "Jub Jub" Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala's murder convictions were overturned in the High Court in Johannesburg on today.

Maarohanye and Tshabalala were found guilty of murder, attempted murder, driving under the influence of drugs, and racing on a public road by the Protea Magistrate's Court, Soweto, on October 16, 2012.

The pair crashed their Mini Coopers into a group of schoolboys in Protea North, Soweto, on March 8, 2010. 

Four boys were killed in the crash, and two were left permanently brain damaged.

In December 5, 2012, both men were sentenced to 20 years imprisonment for murder and four years for attempted murder.

For use of drugs, driving under the influence of drugs, and racing on a public road, they got a year for each count.

Today their sentences were converted to culpable homicide. Marohane's jail term has been reduced from 25 years to 8 years.

Their previous appeal  in February 2013 was dismissed.
