Shebeshxt case postponed again

The court case involving Lekompo artist Shebeshxt, real name Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, has been postponed to 27 March 2026.

Chauke appeared before the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court, Limpopo on Wednesday, 18 February 2026, following his continued detention after being denied bail.

The 30-year-old musician had lodged an appeal in December last year in an attempt to overturn the court’s bail ruling. However, the appeal was unsuccessful, resulting in him remaining in custody.

Chauke is facing multiple serious charges, including attempted murder, assault, and the unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition.

Adding to his legal troubles, he was recently allegedly found in possession of prohibited items while being held at the Polokwane holding cells, an incident that has further complicated his case.
