Judgment in the murder trial of musician Molemo “Jub Jub” Maarohanye and Themba Tshabalala continues in Protea Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

Magistrate Brian Nemavhidi delayed the matter on Thursday afternoon.

“I would like to pursue this matter for finality, but the rain is interfering with the recording equipment,” he said.

Nemavhidi has recounted the evidence of several witnesses while delivering his judgment in the matter.

Maarohanye and Tshabalala were allegedly drag-racing in Protea North in March 2010 when they crashed into a group of schoolchildren. Four boys were killed and two were seriously injured.

They are charged with murder, reckless driving, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and failing to asses the injuries of the victims. Both have pleaded not guilty.

The trial started in 2010 and has heard the evidence of 20 witnesses.
