Shebeshxt in Court
A popular Lekompo music artist, Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke (30), popularly known as Shebeshxt, appeared briefly before the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court on charges of attempted murder, malicious damage to property, and possession of an unlicensed firearm.
It is alleged that on 19 October 2025, the complainant and his friend were driving along Witklip Street in Ladanna, Polokwane, when they noticed the accused. As fans, they greeted and praised him. It is alleged that the accused responded by saying “Kgane aletlale ka nna?” before firing a shot at them.
The bullet struck the complainant in the jaw and damaged the window of a Nissan vehicle belonging to the witness. The witness, who was with the complainant, then drove him to Polokwane Provincial Hospital for medical treatment. A case was subsequently opened, and following a thorough investigation, the accused was arrested on 12 November 2025.
The accused is also facing other pending cases, including two counts of attempted murder, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, robbery with aggravating circumstances, and malicious injury to property. That trial is scheduled to commence from 17 to 19 February 2026 in the Lebowakgomo Regional Court. He is currently out on R5 000 bail in that matter.
In the present case, the matter was remanded to 21 November 2025 for the profiling of the accused and the possible addition of further charges. The accused remains in custody.
