Generations: The Legacy's newest addition Muzi Mthabela, allegedly tipped his hat off at Jub Jub for the mistakes he made all those years ago, because if it wasn't for him, he does not know where his life might've ended up at.
As insensitive as that might sound, seeing how children had lost their lives, Muzi Mthabela reportedly said that tragic incident changed his life - for the better.
It is pretty sad that all it takes is a single tragedy for people to realise that change is needed. That is the case with the iconic actor, who believes that had it not have been for that accident, he apparently would have continued abusing alcohol.
A publication called Mzansi Leaks, quoted the actor as follows, “After hearing about Molemo [Jub Jub] and his friends’ fatal accident, a sad day in South Africa, I had to self-introspect and rethink my lifestyle. That was a lesson to all of us who abused alcohol, and I could have easily traded positions with Jub Jub. Quitting alcohol wasn’t easy till I decided to give my life Christ.”
The tragic accident in question involved school children where four lost their lives and two of the survivors had brain damage. This incident occurred in 2010 when Jub Jub went drag racing with his friend whilst drunk.
Having spent some time in prison, Jub Jub got released on parole. However when the rapper got out, he basically beefed with a whole lot of ZAlebs and industry people who did not want to associate themselves with him.
Muzi Mthabela has always been passionate about youth empowerment so having turned his life around, he wishes the same for young people.
He occasionally works with young people and in one of his social media posts, he wrote, "During our sessions we do a quick "How Are You Doing Really?" Then each young person gets a chance to share for about 7minutes to tell us which books they've read and how the application of that knowledge is impacting their lives.
"I spoke on one of the 7 cures for a lean purse - Increase Thy Capacity To Earn. Only YOU can add value to yourself. Learn a new skill. Acquire knowledge. Read more books about your field of choice. Know more about your field than your peers. Qualify yourself for promotion before it 'actually happens'."
He is currently embroiled in a messy legal battle with his ex-girlfriend Amanda du-Pont when she accused him of rape for 2 years. This comes after his distasteful interview with MacG but he has since apologised for that.
"I have taken some time to re-watch the interview and reflect on my words specifically my exchange with MacG regarding Ms Amanda Du Pont. It was inappropriate for me to discuss the intimate details of my relationship with Ms Du Pont in public. I deeply regret the incident.
"I also apologize to my fans and the public for the inappropriate language I used during the interview.
"With regards to the accusations levelled against me by Amanda and others I have decided to make a room for the law to take its course and I request the media and the public to do the same," he concluded.
