BREAKING NEWS | SHEBESHXT TO SPEND CHRISTMAS IN JAIL AS BAIL IS DENIED

Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke will spend Christmas and New Year's Day in jail after the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court denied the musician bail and remanded his case to 19 January 2026.

During the hearing, startling revelations emerged as the court confirmed that Shebeshxt allegedly forged the victim’s documents related to the withdrawal of a previous statement.

This disclosure was made by Warrant Officer Phaladi Makola from the Limpopo Provincial Investigating Unit, who testified against the musician.

As a result of these allegations, the court indicated it will now revisit several of Shebeshxt’s past cases that were previously withdrawn, as they may also involve forged signatures.

Shebeshxt is facing nine serious charges, including:

Three counts of attempted murder:Assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, negligent discharge of a firearm and additional offences linked to violent conduct.

His latest arrest stems from an incident in Ladanna during the first week of October 2025, where he allegedly shot and injured two men who were reportedly approaching him to greet him.

Following Monday’s ruling, Shebeshxt will remain in custody until his next court appearance on 19 January 2026.

A 27-year-old woman has been arrested after torching her sugar daddy's house, who appears to be a married man and a pastor in Limpopo. She started by breaking the windows and forcing the man and his wife to wake up.

The police were called to the scene and the case of arson was opened. The total damage caused by the woman is estimated to be R520 000, which includes all the belongings that were destroyed in the fire.

After all, the Pastor immediately dropped the charges in front of his wife because he had children with the accused. The pastor and his wife have been married for 23 years, but he and the side chick have two children who are 5 and 2 years old.

Cat Matlala Admits Missing Friend Jerry Boshoga Was Involved in Drugs

Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala has revealed that his missing friend, Jerry Boshoga, was involved in narcotics and that he had lent him about R1 million before Boshoga was reportedly kidnapped. Matlala was speaking before the Ad Hoc Committee, where he shared details about their friendship and the events leading up to Boshoga’s disappearance.

Matlala said he learned of the kidnapping from Boshoga’s brother, who told him that Jerry had gone to collect 20-litre drums containing materials used in the production of drugs. He advised the family to be truthful with the police to help guide the investigation, saying officers would need accurate information to know where to start.

He confirmed to the committee that he only mentioned a separate kidnapping involving Mrs Dikale and her son in his affidavit. When asked about Boshoga’s alleged drug activities, Matlala admitted that he knew his friend worked with narcotics but insisted he was never part of it. He said the R1 million he lent to Boshoga had nothing to do with illegal dealings, although he acknowledged he was uncomfortable being close to someone involved in drugs.

ANC MP Xola Nqola asked Matlala if he believed Boshoga was still alive. He responded, “I don’t know.” He added that Mrs Dikale and her son were eventually released unharmed but could not comment on the child’s suspected involvement in criminal activity.

Matlala further disclosed that Boshoga owed him money and had repaid part of the loan through his business account. When asked whether those payments might have included drug proceeds, Matlala admitted that it was possible.
