Shebeshxt bail hearing adjourned to Wednesday

The bail hearing for popular Lekompo artist Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, well-known as Shebeshxt, has been adjourned until Wednesday, 10 December 2025.

Shebeshxt appeared before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Monday. He is facing nine charges, including three counts of attempted murder, assault, robbery, and possession of an unlicensed firearm.

Investigating Officer Phaladi Makola took the stand on Monday. He outlined a long list of past convictions, pending matters and alleged violent offences linked to the accused.

Makola revealed that Chauke has a prior conviction from 2018 in Lebowakgomo, where he paid a R300 admission of guilt.

On Wednesday, Shebeshxt lawyers are expected to cross-examine the investigative officer. The Musician will find out only on Wednesday whether the court will grant him bail or not.

Some evidence presented during the bail hearing alleges that Shebeshxt forged a victim’s signature on an official case-withdrawal document in one of his cases.

After state prosecutor Kgaogelo Lekoloane completed his examination, the court ordered more time for proceedings, giving the defense lawyer Lot Ramusi the platform to cross-examine.

However, magistrate Godfrey Netshiozwi has postponed the bail hearing, keeping the musician behind bars until 10 December 2025, when the matter will return to court.
