702, Friday evening

Just after 6:30, time for the latest eyewitness news. Sibs, good evening. The latest on Jubjub. Thanks, Stephen. Good evening. The National Prosecuting Authority has rejected representations by rapper and media personality Mulemo Marohanya, better known as Jubjub. He's seeking an alternative resolution to his criminal case. The NPA says there's sufficient evidence and reasonable prospects of a successful prosecution, meaning the matter will proceed to trial.

And pointing an object allegedly to make a person believe it was a firearm. The NPA's Makaboke Mashachol. His defense has indicated its intention to escalate the representations to the office of the NDPP. The matter has been postponed to 23 November 2026 for the outcomes of the representation. The National Treasury says it believes a cut in the fuel levy is the most immediate way it can reduce financial stress on strategies.
