Musician Lehlogonolo “Shebeshxt” Chauke has reportedly been charged while in custody in Polokwane after prohibited items were allegedly found in his possession.
According to a source, the items included a smartphone, a charger, empty sachets containing residue of an unknown substance, and a drug-smoking pipe.
Chauke’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi, stated he is unaware of the new charge and has not been instructed to represent him on this matter.
The musician is already facing multiple charges in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court. In a separate case, he was taken to court in Bronkhorstspruit on January 23 and charged with speeding after allegedly driving at 220 km/h. That charge has not yet been merged with his existing case file.
Correctional Services confirmed he was transported for the speeding court appearance. This story is still developing.
