Shebeshxt‘s lawyer has told the court that the release of his client on bail will “bring joy and celebration to the whole country,” as he is a well-known lekompo artist.

Lekompo artist Shebeshxt appeared in court for a bail application after allegedly shooting a fan, revealing his struggles with alcohol and crystal meth addiction. His lawyer argued for release due to a medical condition.

A person who opened an assault case against Lekompo artist Shebeshxt, which was allegedly withdrawn after mediation, was not a party to the process and wants to resuscitate the case.

Limpopo police have launched an investigation into the possibility that some officers interfered in cases faced by lekompo musician Shebeshxt, helping him evade justice and therefore enabling his “violent behaviour”.

An investigating officer in the attempted murder case against Lekompo artist Shebeshxt has told a 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 investigating officer in the attempted murder case facing Shebeshxt has testified that the man the popular Lekompo singer allegedly shot was in a coma for four days and is still in hospital following the shooting on October 19.

Controversial lekompo artist Shebeshxt, real name Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, 30, appeared at the Polokwane magistrate’s court on Thursday for an incident that allegedly happened last month.

The farm owner where two women scavenging for expired food were killed and thrown into a pigsty had planned to take the blame for their murders so his two workers could walk free.

The trial of the people accused of murdering two women who were scavenging for food on a Limpopo farm was halted to allow for an inspection to be made at the place where the killings happened.

One of the men at the centre of the murder of two women who were shot dead on a Limpopo farm and then fed to pigs has complained about being with black people in prison.
