South African rapper Shebeshxt allegedly sh00ts motorist in road rage

South African rapper Shebeshxt, whose real name is Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, is under police investigation for attempted murder after allegedly shooting another motorist during a road rage confrontation in Polokwane. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, 19th October 2025, has sparked outrage among the public and raised concerns about celebrity accountability. According to reports, the altercation began when Shebeshxt and another driver clashed over reckless driving on a busy street. The dispute escalated as both men exchanged heated words from their vehicles. The confrontation reached a breaking point when the rapper allegedly pulled into a nearby petrol station, followed by the other motorist. Witnesses say it was there that the violent encounter unfolded. A source close to the investigation revealed that the victim was shot in the upper abdomen and rushed to a local hospital, where he remains in intensive care. The Westenburg Police Station confirmed that a case of attempted murder has been opened. However, controversy deepened when Shebeshxt was briefly detained and then released shortly afterward. According to insiders, the murder and robbery unit took over the case from Westenburg Police, saying they would record statements from both the artist and the victim after preliminary investigations. This swift release has reportedly infuriated the victims family, who accused the authorities of mishandling the case and demanded the rappers rearrest. A family source expressed deep frustration, warning that they might be forced to take matters into their own hands if justice is not served. The insider also suggested that investigators are examining whether Shebeshxt acted in self-defence and whether the firearm used was legally registered. Confirming the ongoing probe, Limpopo police spokesperson Colonel Malesela Ledwaba stated: We confirm that police in Westenburg outside Polokwane are investigating an attempted murder incident that happened on 19 October 2025 in Polokwane. Ledwaba also revealed that Provincial Commissioner Lieutenant General Thembi Hadebe has personally directed the specialised murder and robbery unit to handle the case. The police have a person of interest, and when done with investigations, they will take necessary actions. The investigations have been intensified, the team is tightening loose ends, and an arrest is imminent at this stage. Authorities have appealed to the public for patience as the investigation continues, urging everyone to allow law enforcement to complete their work without interference.The post South African rapper Shebeshxt allegedly sh00ts motorist in road rage appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
