Limpopo musician Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, performing as Shebeshxt, remains detained after magistrates rescheduled his bail hearing at Polokwane court. Defense attorneys requested additional preparation time while prosecutors reclassified the matter from Schedule 5 to Schedule 6 due to separate criminal proceedings in Lebowakgomo involving attempted murder and armed robbery allegations. The elevated classification requires defendants to demonstrate exceptional circumstances justifying pretrial release.

Authorities charged the 30-year-old artist with attempted murder, weapon possession, and property destruction following an October confrontation where prosecutors allege he fired at admirers who greeted him, striking one person's jaw. Enthusiastic supporters created disturbances outside the courthouse while attempting to access proceedings, prompting security intervention.

The rescheduled application will proceed when the court reconvenes, with the defendant facing additional trial appearances scheduled for February regarding unrelated violent offense charges.
