Jub Jub to spend the start of new year with his son

Jub Jub has served four years of his sentence in Jail after him and his friend, Themba Tshabalala were convicted for culpable homicide after they ploughed into a bunch of school children whilst drag racing under the influence of drugs.

The award winning musician and his friend have served half of their 8-year jail sentences and are eligible for parole and an early release next year. In the middle of the year, Jub Jub had initially applied for parole for October but the plea to gain parole was denied.

Earlier on, Sunday world reported that Correctional Services spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo confirmed the award winning musician will be considered for parole.

"In terms of policy, an offender does not apply but will automatically be considered for possible placement on parole once a certain portion of the sentence has been completed.

"In this case the offender will be considered after completion of half the sentence which is in 2016," said Nxumalo

However, according to Move! Magazine, Jub Jub and his co-accused will be free men in the new year.

The publication revealed that the Correctional Supervision and Parole Board sitting between Leeuwkop and Baviaanspoort Management where both men have been held separately held a meeting on the 24th of November to consider the in-mates parole request.

The magazine article read:

"After careful consideration of the case files of the two offenders, a decision was taken to place both offenders on parole as from 5 January 2017..."

The two prisoners were initially each sentenced to 20 years in prison for murder but after a second appeal Jub Jub and Themba's sentence was then reduced to 10 years each as both men were said to be guilty for culpable homicide and not murder.

Jub Jub is said to be looking forward to spending time with his son, Christian whom he fathered with singer, Kelly Khumalo.

Two families said they would accept Jub Jub's parole if he apologised to them first. One family said they were not willing to accept the decision of parole.

"He must rot in jail. But if the government wants to release him, they can do so. He didn't bother to apologise for what he did...I don't need his apology and he must stay there for the rest of his life."
