A short while ago, Eyewitness News’ Mandy Wiener delivered the news that Molemo ‘Jub Jub’ Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala were both convicted on four counts of murder and two of attempted murder.

Tweeting a short while ago, Wiener delivered the news:

Maarohanye and Tshabalala were allegedly drag-racing in Protea North on March 8, 2010 when they crashed into a group of schoolchildren. Prince Mohube, Mlungisi Cwayi, Andile Mthombeni, and Phomello Masemola, were all killed as a result.

TimesLive reported earlier:

“The version given by musician Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye of the accident that claimed the lives of four schoolchildren was rejected in the Protea Magistrate’s Court in Soweto on Tuesday.

“This version is not accurate as it contradicts the accepted versions,” magistrate Brian Nemavhidi said in handing down judgment.

“He [Maarohanye] could not explain why his fans, who were excited to see him and even recorded him, would falsely implicate him in the accident.”

The Soweto courtroom was packed and Maarohanye and co-accused Themba Tshabalala showed no emotion as they listened to the summary of witnesses in their trial.
