Chauke, who is behind bars, is reportedly facing 9 charges, including 3 counts of attempted murder, and other violent-conduct offences.

Warrant Officer Phaladi Makola told the Polokwane Court on Monday that the artist's previous cases were withdrawn under suspicious circumstances.

Makola also alleged that the artist had protection from certain police officials who sometimes frustrated victims.

"The complainant's signature was faked. When I visited him to discuss the case, he was shocked to learn that the case had been withdrawn," said Makola.

Social media user @Am_Blujay shared on his X account on Monday, 8 December 2025, that the Lekompo artist was denied bail.

"Shock for Lekompo fans as Shebeshxt denied bail," said the artist.
