“Miss Du Pont is prepared to take this matter forward and to have the perpetrator account for what he has done to violate her in the past… We can confirm that having consulted with our client, there will be a case open soon enough.
“We can’t give the specific date at this current time, but we can confirm that a case will be opened,” Tony Mathe, Amanda Du Pont’s lawyer is reported to have said.
Before officially filing, Mathe stated that several factors must be considered to ensure that they do not jeopardize their case. He claims that they are currently assembling a strong case against Jub Jub, whose real name is Molemo Katleho Maarohanye.
“Currently we can confirm that the main charge that we will be pursuing is the charge of rape. It will be upon the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) to add other charges, should they see fit that there are other charges that should be pursued here.
“But at the present moment, we confirm it will be the rape charges that will be pursued by my client,” Mathe said in a statement.
Amanda Du Pont claimed in an 18-minute Instagram video that Jub Jub raped and abused her during their relationship. It all began when Jub Jub appeared on Podcast and Chill with MacG – his biggest blunder! Jub Jub’s comments about his relationship with Du Pont prompted the former Skeem Saam actress to speak out.
Masechaba Khumalo, a former radio presenter and current spokesperson for the Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture, has also claimed that Jub Jub raped her.
