Defense Lawyer Expresses Confidence in Jub Jub’s Innocence
Speaking to the media after the court proceedings, Jub Jub’s defence lawyer, Terrence Baloyi, expressed confidence in his client’s chances of winning the case.
Baloyi questioned the strength of the state’s case against his client, highlighting the significant delay in the complainant taking legal action for alleged offences committed between 2006 and 2009.
“If someone claims that they have been raped and wait for a long period. That means there is nothing against him.”
“The unfortunate part is that we are talking about something that allegedly happened many years ago,” Baloyi asserted.
Meanwhile, this is not the first time Jub Jub’s case has been postponed. In November 2023, the case was adjourned to allow the state more time to consult with witnesses and complainants.
The recent court proceedings saw an exchange between Magistrate Khumalo and Baloyi, with the magistrate expressing reluctance to further extend the dates, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the case. Baloyi clarified that the matter was not one of life or death but rather related to Jub Jub’s upcoming tour.
