Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye has issued a public apology letter to Kelly Khumalo via his social media accounts.

The Uyajola 9/9 host who shares son, Christian, with the singer apologised for ‘any distress or hurt’ he may have caused following the aftermath of his interview on an episode of Podcast and Chill with MacG (Macgyver Mukwevho) last year.

In the controversial interview, Jub Jub said he “smashed” Amanda Du-Pont and that their three-year relationship ended after he cheated on her with singer Kelly Khumalo. At the time, Jub Jub said he was not interested in a long-term relationship with Kelly, but she seduced him with muti.

In the lengthy statement, he wrote: “Kelly, I am really sorry, I really did not mean for things to be here between you and I. My comments were taken out of context; however, it still doesn’t make it right.”

Jub Jub said that his apology is not in response to a City Press article published on Sunday, which reported that he was ordered to apologise to Kelly to get his job back at Moja Love which he has been suspended from since the interview.

“I had plans to make things right with you, and I will do so outside of the public domain. This is certainly not how I wanted to first apologise to you; however, because I made the comments on a public broadcast, it’s only right that I apologise publicly.”

“I own up to it as a man but most importantly a human being. I apologise to the women in South Africa at large too for any distress, disappointment or hurt I may have caused and hope that one day you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.”

Jub Jub said he would be undergoing sensitivity classes for his use of language and would continue to work on himself as an individual.
