A source close to the attempted murder case involving Limpopo rapper Shebeshxt has revealed that the alleged victim has been in a coma.

Investigating officer Detective Phaladi Makola took the stand during Shebeshxt's bail hearing in the Polokwane Magistrates Court on Thursday, 27 November 2025, with a health update on the shooting victim.

According to Makola, the unnamed victim was in a coma for four days and has remained in the hospital for over a month after the shooting occurred.

Shebeshxt was arrested earlier in November following the incident, in which he allegedly shot a fan in Polokwane.

It's reported that on the day of the shooting, the rapper was approached by a group of fans in a Nissan, who parked beside his Volkswagen. Makola revealed that an argument ensued after the fans approached to greet Shebeshxt.

"They saw him pull out a firearm, and he fired a shot at the occupants. The bullet hit the rear window, hit the headrest of the driver and hit the passenger on the cheek."

The driver of the Nissan allegedly tried to chase Shebeshxt's car but couldn’t catch up. The driver then went to the hospital.

Makola revealed that the firearm, which is unlicensed, has yet to be recovered, as Shebeshxt has refused to surrender it. The rapper is facing nine charges, including attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm, and assault.

Despite pleading with the court to release him on bail, Shebeshxt remains in custody until the next bail hearing on 8 December.
