Shebeshxt has been denied bail by the Polokwane Magistrates’ Court Lehlogonolo Chauke, also known as Shebeshxt, is a well-known Limpopo lekompo musician who was denied bail at the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. As a result, he will spend Christmas in prison. When the “Rato Laka” hitmaker showed up in court on Wednesday, the magistrate rejected his request for bail and put the case on hold until February 2026.
His lawyer, Advocate Isaac Mokgopo, acting on instructions from Ramusi Attorneys, had previously applied for bail of R50,000. However, the investigating officer, Warrant Officer Phaladi Makola, reportedly opposed bail, telling the court that the musician has had repeated run-ins with the law over the years. Makola said Shebeshxt has failed to make use of the many second chances he has been given since 2015.
The “Ambulance hitmaker faces nine serious charges, including three counts of attempted murder. His arrest followed a shooting incident in Ladanna, Polokwane, in which two men were shot. One of the victims remains in a critical condition in hospital.
