Shebeshxt Arrested In Polokwane Over Alleged Road-rage Shooting. Popular Lekompo artist Shebeshxt, born Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, was reportedly arrested in Polokwane on Wednesday morning in connection with an alleged attempted murder, Limpopo Chronicle reports. The arrest follows a road-rage incident two weeks ago in which a motorist was reportedly shot and wounded.
“Police have opened an attempted murder case after a motorist was allegedly shot during a confrontation on a Polokwane street,” a spokesperson said, confirming that the matter has been transferred to the provincial murder and robbery unit as inquiries are intensifying. The arrest appears to be linked directly to that probe.
According to media reports that first detailed the October incident, the confrontation allegedly began after an argument over driving. Witnesses say the dispute escalated at a petrol station, where the two men confronted each other before shots were fired and the victim collapsed. The wounded motorist was rushed to a Polokwane hospital and was reported to be in a critical condition following the shooting.
Shebeshxt is no stranger to headlines. Over the past few years, the rapper has been involved in several controversies and past legal runs that have kept him in the public eye, a record that adds a tense backdrop to the current investigation. Police say they are continuing with formal procedures and that further information will be released as the investigation progresses.
As the case unfolds in Polokwane, fans and critics alike are watching closely. Court dates and further official statements have not yet been published.
