The paper reports that Channel CEO Aubrey Tau grilled him about his outrageous utterances, which he viewed as reckless and inflammatory.
Jub Jub, real name Molemo Maarohanye, is said to have apologised. Jub Jub caused a stir when he took to Instagram this week and condemned those who criticised looters.
“How dare you judge and call another black person a hooligan? I don’t condone looting. What did you expect to happen if they have been misled and lied to for years? Let them steal if they have to steal. Let them do whatever because the government has not provided. This was bound to happen, people are starving,” said Aubrey Tau.

“The views expressed on the videos or any of his platforms are his personal views and do not reflect the company values and views of the channels in any way,” said Bokani Moyo – Head of Channel for Moja Love.
“The socio-economic situation of the country is a stark reality we empathize with, but we do not condone violence in addressing the matter. We call on all South Africans to stand together to denounce the looting, violence, and lawlessness that has gripped the country,” reads the statement issued by Moja Love.

“Nobody is condoning looting… This is not about Zuma anymore… it was bound to happen the way it is happening… Here we are as influential people… Everybody is f****ng quiet about this. Nobody is saying a word but they expect the very same people on the ground to support them,” he fumed.
