Music star rots in jail while his hit song dominates the radio waves. Lehlohonolo Katlego Chauke awaits a final verdict from the Polokwane High Court regarding his freedom. The Limpopo artist known as Shebeshxt sits behind bars after appealing a magistrate's refusal to grant him bail late last year.

Prosecutors slammed the performer with nine heavy charges linked to a violent shooting at Ladanna. Police allege the hitmaker opened fire during October 2025, leaving victims Petros Ralefatane and Tebelelo Mafagane with severe gunshot wounds. The state insists his release would mock the justice system.

It seems ironic that Thobela FM crowned his track Rato Laka as Song of the Year while the singer occupied a prison cell. Senior Magistrate Godfrey Netshiozwi originally denied release because the crimes fall under Schedule Six offenses. His defense team raced to overturn that ruling immediately.

NPA spokeswoman Mashudu Malabi-Dzangi confirmed that the judge reserved judgment for this afternoon. The thirty-year-old suspects he might stay locked away indefinitely if this specific appeal fails.
