TimesLIVE readers have weighed in on Uyajola 9/9 presenter Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye leaving Moja Love, saying he was a good host and will be missed.

A source confirmed Jub Jub’s departure to TshisaLIVE, explaining the media personality’s contract is up in March but there is no intention to extend his stay.

Moja Love said Jub Jub was never a permanent employee and could not be fired by the channel.

“Jub Jub is an independent contractor and therefore cannot be dismissed as he is not a permanent employee of the channel. Moja Love is also not at liberty to discuss the contents of his contract as it is confidential and of a privileged nature” said head of Moja TV Channels Bokani Moyo.

Jub Jub’s time on the show has been shrouded in controversy, with the star suspended in 2021 amid sexual assault claims. His conduct and comments on the show have also sparked calls for boycotts, while his appointment was questioned after his culpable homicide conviction.

TimesLIVE ran a poll asking readers what they thought of Jub Jub’s departure from the channel.

Most (48%) said they were sad to see him leave and added “he was a good host”, 33% said it was good he was gone because “he was toxic”, and 19% said they don’t watch the channel.

The debate continued on social media.

Cleopatra Zondo said Jub Jub was “good in all the shows he did”.

“I will miss him on Uyajola 9/9 and he was also good in Uthando Noxolo.”

Johnny Monna Wa Mosepedi said: “I’m not yet happy. I will be more happy when Moja Love is taken offline.”

Sandile Vellem said it was a loss to Moja Love.

Arzo AyamaahPictures Taole said presenters come and go: “It’s part of the industry. Now let’s all move on from this.”

They will regret letting him go… He is a good host

@mojalove This show is no longer relevant. We interested in shows that help communities like x repo, Sizokuthola, Lefami etc… Instead of shows that destroys and encourcage GBV in communities.
