Jub Jub’s court case not heard
2010-03-09 12:30
Hip hop star Jub Jub, who has been accused of killing four students while drag racing in Soweto, has not appeared in court as expected today.
Community leader Dlangezwa Mvelase said the case would be heard in
the Protea Magistrate’s Court tomorrow.
“We will be here picketing tomorrow... We want to oppose their
bail,” said Mvelase.
The men, one of whom is a well-known hip hop artist, were racing
down the road which runs between Protea Glen and Protea North yesterday when
they smashed into four boys walking home from school with two other
friends.
The teenagers, aged between 17 and 19, were killed on the scene
when the two Mini Coopers collided.
Metro police spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane said: “It is a two-way
street and one of the cars went into the other lane, driving in the lane of
oncoming traffic, parallel to one another.”
When a car came from the other direction, the driver tried to
swerve back into the right lane and crashed into the Mini he was allegedly
racing.
“They both drove onto the pavement and mowed down the four young
boys who were still in school uniform,” Mamonyane said.
The two speedsters would face charges of culpable homicide and
negligent and reckless driving.
