NPA shares why Shebeshxt allegedly shot at fans

Mashudu Malabi, the spokesperson for the NPA in Limpopo, contrasted earlier reports that Shebeshxt allegedly shot at the victims after a heated argument.

Malabi alleged that Mafagane and Ralefatane were driving along Witklip Street in Ladanna, Polokwane, when they saw Shebeshxt.

The duo greeted and praised Shebeshxt, who allegedly opened fire unprovoked. Petrus Ralefatane was struck in the jaw by the same bullet that damaged the Nissan Sentra belonging to Tebelelo Mafagane, who witnessed the incident.

“As fans, they greeted and praised him. It is alleged that the accused responded: “Kgane aletlale ka nna? (Can’t you get enough of me?),” before firing a shot at them. The bullet struck the complainant in the jaw and damaged the window of a Nissan vehicle belonging to the witness. The witness, who was with the complainant, then drove him to Polokwane Provincial Hospital for medical treatment,” Malabi said.

Shebeshxt was remanded in custody when he appeared in court on Thursday. He is facing charges of attempted murder, malicious damage to property and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Shebeshxt is expected back in court on Friday, 21 November, after the matter was postponed pending the finalisation of investigations.
