A short clip of rapper Shebeshxt walking through the Mall of the North sent social media into a tailspin this week, with many fans convinced he had walked free. The reality, however, is far less dramatic — but no less fascinating.
On Tuesday, 10 November 2026, X user @retha_1_ posted two handheld videos of the Limpopo rapper inside the shopping centre, captioning the post,
"Guys? Shebeshxt is out 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭"
The footage, filmed from a distance in a paparazzi-style manner near glass doors and an escalator ramp, quickly spread across the platform, causing widespread confusion. Despite appearances, Katlego Lehlogonolo Chauke, 31, popularly known as Shebeshxt, has not been released. He was escorted by police authorities to the mall solely to attend to outstanding banking matters during his ongoing bail proceedings.

Shebeshxt's bail hearing faces more delays
The rapper last appeared before the Polokwane Magistrates Court on Monday, 9 November, but the session was cut short after state prosecutor Advocate Kgaugelo Lekoloane was reportedly too ill to attend. Magistrate Godfrey Netshiozwi postponed the matter to Wednesday, 11 November. His lawyer, Advocate Mutheiwana Sikhwari, confirmed in court that both parties had agreed to resume proceedings on that date, with Shebeshxt set to be re-examined following his cross-examination by the state at the previous sitting.
Shebeshxt was arrested on 12 November 2025 in Bendor, outside Polokwane, following a police intelligence-led operation. He now faces 21 charges, among them four counts of attempted murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, common assault, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and reckless and negligent driving, among other serious charges. This marks his third bail application.
