While the police continue a probe of Limpopo rapper Lehlogonolo “Shebeshxt” Chauke for possible culpable homicide following the crash that claimed his daughter Onthatile Chuene’s life, further woes seem to be looming.
On Saturday, the rapper posted a picture of Onthatile’s casket on his @OfficiallShebe_ X account. He captioned it with an emotional farewell message to the little girl, expressing how her departure had left a huge void in his and his girlfriend, Onthatile’s mother, Kholofelo’s hearts
Chauke is reportedly scheduled to appear at the Lebowakgomo Magistrate’s Court for a 2022 case.
Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, who is Limpopo’s National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokesperson says the rapper is currently out on bail and will be in court for trial.
“The matter is set down for plea and trial for 11 July 2024 at the Lebowakgomo regional court D,” adds Malabi-Dzhangi.
Malabi-Dzhangi previously revealed to the publication that a case was opened against Chauke after he allegedly stabbed a man in Lebowakgomo.
Limpopo Chronicle reported in August 2023 that Chauke was granted bail by the Lebowakgomo Magistrate’s Court after getting arrested in April 2023.
His charges varied from assault, attempted murder and discharge of a firearm. It’s alleged he fired four shots in the air at a family home in Ga-Mamaola Village, Limpopo.
The publication adds that when that incident occurred, he was out on bail in another matter of assault and his bail was later revoked.
On the second incident (10 April 2023) the accused discharged a firearm at another family residence when he went to look for a member of that family. When he was informed that the person he was looking for was not there, he discharged his firearm four times upwards,” the NPA said at the time.
The South African reached out to Chauke’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi for a comment on Saturday. We will give an update as soon as possible.
Shebeshxt buried his daughter Onthantile Chuene in Lebowakgomo, Zone A today (Saturday, 22 June).
The rapper’s daughter, Onthatile Chuene passed away on Saturday, 8 June following a car crash on the R37 road next to Smelters Mine in Limpopo.
Chauke’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi confirmed to the publication that the rapper will attend her funeral service today following special arrangements with the hospital where he is being treated.
Ramusi also said the family requested Shebeshxt’s medical team to release him from the hospital on Saturday, so that he can attend his daughter’s funeral.
It is believed the rapper will return to the hospital after the funeral ceremony after going multiple surgeries following the fatal car crash.
The rapper’s mother revealed that her son suffered a broken leg, abdominal injuries, and head injuries.
