Limpopo musician Lehlogonolo Katlego “Shebeshxt” Chauke was reportedly expected to appear at the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, 11 February, for fresh charges. The musician was allegedly found with prohibited substances in his prison cell on Tuesday. However, the case was not enrolled on the court roll because prosecutors said further investigation is required.
NPA spokeswoman Mashudu Malabi-Dzangi confirmed that the docket had been received. She emphasised that the matter cannot proceed until the police complete outstanding investigations. The specifics of the alleged contraband have not been disclosed, leaving many questions about the validity of the charge.
According toDaily Sun, Shebeshxt’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi, strongly denied the claims, saying, “It is a lie that my client was found with drugs. He had no prohibited substances, and these charges are baseless.” After legal arguments, the court removed the case from Wednesday’s schedule. As a result, the matter is now pending.
