Limpopo musician Shebeshxt has once again found himself in the spotlight, this time for a light-hearted but unforgettable performance. On 21 September 2025, he attended a children’s party in Seshego wearing a superhero-style outfit that had fans online dubbing him “Spider Ninja Turtle.” Within hours, the video of his antics spread across South Africa, making him one of the weekend’s biggest talking points.
Push-Ups Before the Music
Shebeshxt is known for adding flair to his shows, and this party was no exception. Before performing, he dropped to the floor in his colourful costume and began doing push-ups, drawing laughter from the children and cheers from adults in attendance. The playful moment was captured on video and quickly circulated on TikTok, X, and Instagram, where it gained thousands of views and comments.
The outfit itself became part of the spectacle. A mix of bright colours and superhero elements, it stood out in a way that was perfect for entertaining children but also ripe for memes. Fans wasted no time giving it a new name: “Spider Ninja Turtle.”
South Africa Reacts Online
The reactions online were as varied as they were animated:
-
Many applauded the performance, with one user calling it “10 out of 10” and praising him for putting effort into making the kids laugh.
-
Others leaned into humour, sharing memes and jokes about the outfit while embracing the “Spider Ninja Turtle” nickname.
-
A smaller group used the moment to question whether such performances are the right type of entertainment for children, sparking conversations about role models and responsibility.
Despite the debates, the overall mood online leaned towards amusement and appreciation. The clip was widely shared, proving once again how quickly a playful moment can capture South Africa’s attention.
Who Is Shebeshxt?
For those unfamiliar with him, Shebeshxt, real name Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, is a musician from Lebowakgomo in Limpopo. He rose to fame through the viral success of his track Ke Di Shxt Malume, which gained massive popularity on TikTok. Since then, he has become known for his energetic performances, his fearless approach to public life, and a knack for turning even small appearances into memorable events.
His story matters because he represents a growing wave of artists from Limpopo who are reshaping South Africa’s music scene. While many performers from smaller towns struggle to break into national fame, Shebeshxt has built a profile that resonates across the country. Every viral clip adds to his brand and keeps him firmly in the spotlight.

Why This Moment Stands Out
What made this particular appearance different was the context. A children’s party is not a stadium stage, yet Shebeshxt brought the same energy and commitment. By showing up, entertaining, and not taking himself too seriously, he managed to connect with kids and parents while giving fans online plenty to laugh about.
The nickname “Spider Ninja Turtle” may have started as a joke, but it reflects the way South Africans use humour to celebrate and critique public figures at the same time. For Shebeshxt, the moment shows how an artist can embrace playfulness and still make headlines.
It began with an outfit and a few push-ups, but it became a viral talking point that had South Africans laughing, debating, and sharing. Shebeshxt proved that even at a community event, a performer can create a national moment. He gave the kids joy, entertained the crowd, and reminded fans why he remains one of Limpopo’s most unpredictable and talked-about stars.
