Profession
Jub Jub is known across the country for his hit Xhosa gospel song “Ndikhokhele Bawo” which means “Guide me, Father” in English.
From the beginning, Jub Jub’s songs received a positive response from the public. His debut album, THE RARE BREED, was released in 2006 and was the first of many great songs he released, and South Africans couldn’t get enough of his songs.
GOOD TIME OF YOUR LIFE, in particular, received a warm response from the public and became one of the most popular songs on many radio and TV music channels. The song was so popular that Jub Jub was invited to perform it at the 2006 Metro FM Music Awards.
Jub Jub’s second album, MY SHINE, was released in 2007 and included the hit single Jub Jub Ndikhokhele which got everyone hooked.
He collaborated with the Jaziel Brothers to create Ndikhokhele. The song was a critical acclaim and was nominated for several music awards in 2008. At the 2008 SAMA Awards, it was nominated for both Best Hip Hop and Song of the Year.
MY SHINE was also nominated for Song of the Year at the 2008 Metro FM Music Awards, exceeding all expectations and becoming one of the most recognisable Jub Jub albums in South Africa, with Jub Jub being invited to open the 2008 SAMA Music Awards.
In 2009, Jub Jub released his third album, FRESH AIR, which was a wonderful musical feast for his fans. He collaborated with Sheer Music and released the album on his own record label, Rare Breed Entertainment.
Award-winning artists he has worked with include Thembisile Ntaka, RJ Benjamin, Lungelo, BonezittoAmu, Zwai Bala and Guffy Pilane.
Jub Jub’s new show Uyajola aims to expose adultery between married couples. It’s the South African version of “Cheaters”. This show exposes the shady tactics used by cheating partners and reveals the secret methods used by South African cheaters.
This is his first time performing since he was released from prison in 2017. Speaking to a local TV station, Jub Jub warned that the show is not for those who are overly emotional. “I am honoured to be a part of the first show of its kind in Mzansi,” he said.
Cheating and infidelity are undoubtedly serious social issues in South African society. My purpose in giving this speech is therefore to raise awareness of the impact of infidelity on all those affected.
As you can probably imagine, it takes a lot of courage to perform a show like this because you’re dealing with people’s lives and grief every day. It’s not for the faint of heart.”
Personal life
Before going to jail, Jub Jub was with Kelly Khumalo. Khumalo is an actress and singer. She is also a single mother of two and often posts about her adorable daughter Thingo Meyiwa Khumalo, who she dotes on.
