The future of Lekompo artist Lehlohonolo Katlego Chauke, popularly known as Shebeshxt, is still in limbo as his bail hearing has been postponed.
This comes after Warrant Officer Phaladi Makola told the court that police have been aware of the musician’s involvement in crime as far back as 2015, including two attempted murder cases that are still pending.
The Ambulance rapper made his appearance at the Polokwane magistrate’s court on Monday for a bail application over allegations that he shot a fan while driving on a street in Polokwane in October.
Testifying in court, Phaladi said that the man which Shebeshxt allegedly shot on October 19 is still in hospital.
“The firearm used in this matter has not yet been recovered, but they have obtained the bullet or projectile, which has been sent to ballistics for investigation. The investigation into that ballistic report (is still pending),” he said.
Phaladi said one of the attempted murder cases Shebeshxt is facing relates to an incident that happened in Seshego at a music concert.
“It is reported that the victim tried to greet Shebeshxt, a firearm was produced, and he was shot at. The firearm used was never recovered. On the day of this occurrence, Chauke was with a certain Thabiso Malatjie.”
“He has other pending cases, including two attempted murders [one in October 2022 and another in February 2023] registered at the Lebowakgomo police station. He was granted bail of R5,000 on both counts. His bail conditions were not to commit any schedule 1 offences,” the Warrant Officer.
