Mzansi reacts to Shebeshxt's mounting legal drama

@AlgoTeacher shared:

"Not long from now, when winter sets in while he is behind bars, Shebeshxt will begin to realise how foolish he was playing with freedom. Those cells can be cold at night. They make a man think straight."

@SikhoPhilani said:

"These young men plainly refuse to learn! The real world is completely different from the TikTok world. Hopefully, he learns his lessons and comes back a better citizen after his sentence (he won't escape all these charges)."

@Blessieli2002 exclaimed:

"There is no dustbin for A brother. Kodwa, those who surrounded this man were wrong for not giving him some piece of advice!!"

Igniting the chatter was X user @ThembisileQ21, who posted a close-up photo of Shebeshxt’s face.

“Shebeshxt has an insane face card.”

Many ladies seem to agree, with some saying he ruined his face by getting face tattoos.

Sizwe reacts to Shebesxt's new appearance

In a previous report from Briefly News, radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo has responded to Shebeshxt's court appearance, where he appeared clean and healthy. His take opened the floor for mixed reactions online.

The Lekompo singer made a brief appearance at the Polokwane Magistrate's court for his third bail hearing, which was later declined.

Before judgment was passed down, Sizwe Dhlomo made a statement that ruffled some people's feathers. Dhlomo went from saying he looks much healthier, to saying he felt bad for him, "Sekuyadabukisa ke kodwa," he said, and this loosely translates to, "This is now very sad."
