According to ZiMoja, the Ambulance singer was paid the full amount for the performance. When he did not attend, the organisers at Boxyard Events headed to the Lobatse Magistrates Court and opened a case.

A court order was then released, which instructed Shebeshxt not to set foot in the country.

Shebeshxt takes order seriously

According to the news publication, a source close to the singer confirmed the news and the singer is not taking this lightly.

"He [Shebeshxt] might get arrested. He is used to getting arrested, but he doesn't want to go to jail for missing a booking or have his passport taken away."

This is not the only booking Shehebshxt did not honour. It is reported that he also missed yet another gig in December in the Vaal. He was to perform with Skomota for the event and was paid R45 000.

In a previous report from Briefly News, Skomota shared his struggles with his manager, Moruti Wa Dikota. The manager reportedly pays him only R1000 per gig instead of the R35 000 he charges.

Fans are now demanding justice for the dancer. He also shared that he is expecting a child with his pregnant wife and has cancelled all bookings until resolved. Social media users expressed their support for Skomota, urging him to prioritise his family's well-being and find better management to ensure fair treatment and payment.
