In late October and early November 2025, Jovin became a central figure in a political controversy.

Authorities accused Jovin and 21 (later reported as 98) others of “deliberately insulting the Head of State and encouraging public unrest”. The charges are serious, with treason being a non-bailable offense punishable by death under Tanzanian law.
