Shebeshxt's Pictures in Court Trend and Mzansi Says He's Had a Reality Check

• Shebeshxt attended a bail hearing recently but was not successful in his bid to be released
• Social media was abuzz with fans opining on Shebeshxt's status, with some hoping he has learnt his lesson

Lehlogonolo "Shebeshxt" Chauke appeared at the Polokwane Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, where the court heard of his alleged drug addiction.

Photos from this appearance, in which he sought to seek release on bail, trended on social media and many a netizen has since been dissecting his condition.

Shebeshxt was incarcerated in early November for allegedly shooting at and wounding a fan said to have been following the lekompo star.

Shebeshxt's victim was reportedly in a coma for weeks, prompting the charge to be changed to that of attempted murder.

@N_Ntuli458 commented:

"Reality is finally loading on him, buffering at 2%, but at least it’s loading .They must keep him there until he remembers he’s a human and not a GTA character."

One user, @FredBito10, came to Shebeshxt's defence, writing:

"I met Shebe in person. He is one of the coolest celebrities. He even seems to be very shy! The problem is that people provoke him. Keep in mind that there are a lot of lekompo guys in Limpopo and many are not even in the music industry. These guys provoke Shebe yet when he reacts it is criminal."

@nombshab squashed the defence, writing:

"He is thinking of all the money he was supposed to be making this December."

Another user, @NotThatDip, expressed optimism and wrote:

"He is coming back before Christmas."
