Limpopo Musician Shebeshxt Faces Fresh Attempted Murder Charges Amid Ongoing Legal Battles
Controversial Limpopo artist Shebeshxt has once again found himself at the center of serious legal trouble. The 30-year-old musician, whose real name has not been disclosed by authorities, appeared in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court today to face three counts of attempted murder — the latest in a string of violent incidents that have placed him under intense public scrutiny.
According to police reports, the charges stem from a road-rage incident that took place last month. During the altercation, shots were allegedly fired at another vehicle, leaving one of the occupants critically injured. Law enforcement officials say Shebeshxt was arrested during an intelligence-driven operation in Bendor, a suburb of Polokwane, and that his vehicles have since been seized for forensic examination as part of the ongoing investigation.
Police spokespersons confirmed that this is not the musician’s only active case. He is also expected to appear in another court in connection with a separate October shooting incident, which investigators believe may share similarities with the most recent attack. The prosecution has indicated plans to merge the two cases, allowing them to be heard together once all evidence has been collected.
During his brief court appearance, Shebeshxt reportedly showed little emotion as the magistrate postponed the case to next Friday. Until then, he will remain in police custody, as the state continues to build its case. Prosecutors emphasized that the charges are severe, carrying potential long-term prison sentences if he is found guilty.
This is not the first time Shebeshxt has been linked to violence. The outspoken musician, known for his raw lyrics and unapologetic public persona, first made headlines in 2023 after being arrested for assault following an altercation at a public event. Around the same period, a video of him wielding a large blade went viral on social media, fueling widespread concern over his behavior and temperament.
Despite his controversies, Shebeshxt has maintained a strong following in Limpopo and beyond, with fans often rallying behind him on social platforms. Many argue that he is misunderstood and that his troubled background has influenced his actions, while others have called for accountability and professional help for the star before his legal issues derail his career completely.
Authorities have urged anyone with additional information related to the road-rage shooting or other violent incidents involving the artist to come forward. Meanwhile, legal experts suggest that the outcome of this case could have major implications for the musician’s career — particularly if the court allows both cases to be heard jointly.
As the investigation continues, the spotlight remains firmly on Shebeshxt, whose once-promising career now hangs in the balance amid growing concerns over his repeated brushes with the law. His next court appearance is expected to draw significant public attention, as fans and critics alike await to see whether the embattled artist can find a way out of his latest legal storm.
