Fans of controversial Limpopo musician Shebeshxt have launched an audacious effort to have the musician granted bail.
The Rato Laka hitmaker has been behind bars since his arrest on 12 November 2025 at his Bendor home in Polokwane.
Shebeshxt spent the festive season in jail after the Polokwane Magistrates' Court denied him bail. Efforts by his legal team to appeal the lower court’s decision at the Polokwane High Court hit a brick wall when Acting Judge Natalie Burnet upheld Senior Magistrate Godfrey Netshiozwi’s initial ruling denying Shebeshxt bail.
Now, fans of the incarcerated musician have taken matters into their own hands and launched a petition to have Shebeshxt released on bail.
