“The views expressed on the videos or any of his platforms are his personal views and do not reflect the company values and views of the channels in any way. “The socio-economic situation of the country is a stark reality we empathise with, but we do not condone violence in addressing the matter. We call on South Africans to stand together to denounce the looting, violence and lawlessness that has gripped the country.”

In a 34-minute-long video posted to his Instagram, where he has one million followers, the 41-year-old said he was really disturbed and disgusted by people who are living easier lives calling out those who have been looting. “How dare you judge and call another black person HOLIGAN!! Just because you comfortable….I don’t condone looting. What did you expect to happen if they have been misled and lied to for years???” he captioned the video. “Let them steal if they have to steal, let them do whatever because the government has not provided that,” said Jub Jub in the video. “This was bound to happen! People are starving.

When last did that family have food? When last did they eat meat?,” he continued. He agreed that some people were taking items that they did not need but he said that the stealing was “common sense” because they would sell their stolen goods and use that money to take care of their family. In addition, Jub Jub called out fellow celebrities for not speaking out against the unrest. “I’m talking about my fellow celebrities … everybody is not saying a word, but you see them releasing and then they expect the same people on the ground to buy their music,” he said.
