A SOUTH African judge has sentenced a hip-hop star and his
co-accused to 20 years in prison for the killings of four schoolchildren
in a drag-race crash.
The South African Press Association reported on Wednesday that
Magistrate Judge Brian Nemavhidi handed down the sentences to Molemo
Maarohanye, best known by his stage name Jub Jub, and Themba Tshabalala.
The judge previously ruled that the men had been driving under the
influence of drugs at the time of the March 8, 2010, crash.
The crash in Soweto also seriously injured two other schoolchildren.
Jub
Jub is one of the most recognisable artists in South Africa. Thousands
of high school students protested during his bail hearing in May and
riots erupted when he was granted bail.
