Shebeshxt, AKA Maburna, faces charges of attempted murder, malicious damage to property and possession of an unlicensed firearm. Shebe allegedly shot a man in the jaw following a road rage incident, leaving him with serious injuries.

He attempted to get bail twice; however, his application was rejected. On Tuesday, 21 April, he applied for the third time, arguing that he needs surgery on his leg. According to reports, Chauke needs to undergo surgery urgently on his right leg. This follows the car accident in 2024, which claimed the life of his daughter.
