There are places in Mzansi that are notorious for umgowo, and speaking from his observations as the host of Mzansi's version of Cheaters, Jub Jub has warned people about two such places. 

Heartbreak is everywhere, but as the host of Uyajola 99 Jub knows better than most people when he's called to solve matters of cheating in relationships.

The reality show is about lovers who are fed up with having suspicions about their partners cheating and go on the hunt for the truth. South Africans have a front row seat to all the drama and chaos that infidelity brings every Sunday on Moja Love.

Jub Jub took to his Instagram to warn unsuspecting people looking for love that eBhayi and eMonti are not territories you enter into in search of true love because there everyone belongs to everyone.

“amaXhosa are my people. I know them. They drink and I hang out with them. Don't tell us you are going to Eastern Cape, eMonti or PE. Those places are notorious and you wanna go there to look for a girlfriend, or boyfriend. You'll regret it. They'll show you flames.”

In his mentions on his Instagram post one woman claiming to be from Gqeberha agreed with his sentiments 101%.

Another one wrote that Jub Jub left out KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo.

When the clip landed on Twitter, some tweeps agreed those places are no go areas and you enter at own risk.

Most tweeps seem to think one may only go there when they are ready to sing along to heartbreak songs.

Jub Jub was recently in the Eastern Cape shooting another lit Uyajola 99 episode in Gqeberha

In the video the woman can be heard saying: “Call your boyfriends to leave Beer Shack. Jub Jub is coming.”
