JOHANNESBURG - Media personality Molemo 'Jub Jub' Maarohanye has been arrested.
He faces charges for kidnapping, defeating the ends of justice and discharging a firearm in public.
Police Spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said Maarohanye was allegedly involved in an altercation with an e-hailing driver in Edenvale.
"It is alleged that at approximately 7:30am, the e-hailing driver had transported a female passenger to a residence in Edenvale when he was confronted by the suspect, who accused him of being involved in a romantic relationship with his girlfriend.
"The suspect allegedly forced the e-hailing driver into his vehicle and prevented him from leaving. During the incident, the suspect reportedly discharged a firearm in the direction of the driver. The e-hailing driver managed to escape unharmed and immediately drove to a nearby police station to report the matter," Mathe said.
Maarohanye will appear in the Germiston Magistrate's Court on Monday.
