Fans of popular musician Shebeshxt, who is facing various criminal charges including attempted murder, will have to wait a little longer before spotting him at events this youth month. This after he was denied bail on Tuesday.
President Yama 2K, as he is affectionately known to his legion of fans, appeared at the Lebowakgomo Magistrate’s Court, where his matter was postponed to next Thursday, June 22.
To date, Shebeshxt, born Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, has spent over a month behind bars.
National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson in Limpopo, Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, said the muso’s case was postponed in order for the court to combine the various cases against him.
“Cases were postponed for the charges to be joined and for further investigations,” she said.
Shebeshxt is charged with attempted murder and assault GBH after his bail was revoked for allegedly stabbing three people in Limpopo.
He is also facing two counts of discharging a firearm as he allegedly fired four shots in the air at a family home in Ga-Mamaola village, Limpopo, on April 10.
