Embattled Lekompo artist Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, popularly known as Shebeshxt, is set to return to the Polokwane Magistrates Court on Monday, 8 December 2025, for the continuation of his bail hearing.

Shebeshxt, who was arrested on an attempted murder charge, is now facing nine charges after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) successfully consolidated his offences. The Ambulance hitmaker faces three counts of attempted murder and two counts of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH). His case falls under Schedule 6 offences.

Shebeshxt’s bail application has already been postponed twice, and his appearance on Monday, 8 December, will be his third appearance since his arrest on charges stemming from an incident on 19 October 2025, in which he allegedly fired shots at another motorist's vehicle, injuring a 34-year-old man.

The state is opposing Shebeshxt’s bail application, citing the seriousness of the charges and the possibility that the musician may interfere with witnesses.
