Jub Jub Sparks Debate with Viral TikTok Video Distributing MK Party T-shirts

Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye recently made waves at the Mkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party anniversary celebrations, but his involvement goes beyond just attending high-profile events. In a TikTok video posted this past weekend, the TV presenter and musician took to the streets, actively supporting the party by distributing political t-shirts at a petrol station.

The video, which features his 2020 hit “Ndikhokhele” alongside a star-studded lineup, including Nathi, Rebecca Malope, Benjamin Dube, and others, quickly gained traction. Captioned with “The people have spoken,” it amassed over 400,000 views within a day and even trended on X (formerly Twitter).

While Jub Jub’s gesture gained attention, it sparked a mix of reactions online. Many, like John Dube, criticized the tactic as a cheap political move, with comments like, “People don’t eat t-shirts,” calling out the exploitation of the public with such giveaways. Others on TikTok expressed disappointment, with some pledging to stop supporting his music.

Despite the backlash, Jub Jub continued his t-shirt distribution, engaging with people eager to grab one, even in their cars, further fueling the public debate surrounding the intersection of politics, celebrity, and the electorate.
