Shebeshxt bail bid stalls as new charges pile up, fans left restless

The Polokwane court pushed back Shebeshxt's bail hearing again after prosecutors dumped six old charges on him at the last second. His lawyer said they got ambushed and needed time to prep, which the judge agreed with. The rapper is stuck in jail facing 11 total charges that got bumped up to Schedule 6 status, meaning he has to prove exceptional circumstances to even get bail.

The main beef is from an alleged road rage shooting where cops say he lit up another car and hit someone in the jaw. But they also tacked on stuff from way back like attempted murder, assault, and weapons charges from incidents in 2022 and 2023. His trial is set for February 2026.

Security got cranked up at court after his fans caused chaos last week. The local music movement is calling his detention an attack on the Lekompo genre he helped blow up. Dude already went through hell earlier this year when his daughter died in a car crash.
