Limpopo musician Shebeshxt is facing mounting legal trouble after his bail hearing was officially postponed to Thursday, 27 November 2025. The popular rapper, known for his energetic performances and outspoken personality, appeared briefly in the Polokwane Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, where the court confirmed that several additional charges had been added to his case.
The matter has now been placed under **Schedule 6**, the most serious category in South African criminal law. Schedule 6 applies to severe offences and requires the accused to provide compelling evidence in court to justify why they should be granted bail. This classification significantly raises the threshold for release and signals the gravity of the allegations.
During Tuesday’s appearance, the court granted a postponement to allow Shebeshxt and his legal team more time to consult. The delay was considered necessary after prosecutors introduced **six new charges**, bringing the total number of charges against the rapper to **nine**. While the specific details of the new charges have not yet been publicly disclosed, the sudden increase has drawn widespread attention and speculation among fans, legal observers, and the entertainment community.
The postponement also allows the defence team to review the new information, adjust their legal strategy, and prepare arguments ahead of Thursday’s bail application. Given the heightened requirements under Schedule 6, Shebeshxt’s lawyers will need to demonstrate exceptional circumstances to convince the court that he should be released pending trial.

Outside the courtroom, the atmosphere was tense but calm, with a noticeable presence of supporters who arrived to show solidarity with the musician. Many expressed frustration over the growing list of charges, while others voiced concerns about the fairness of the legal process. Despite the support, the seriousness of the case has sparked intense public dialogue, especially across social media platforms where debates continue to trend.
Legal analysts note that Schedule 6 matters often involve complex investigations, and additional charges may emerge as evidence is reviewed. They also caution that securing bail under such conditions can be challenging, particularly when new allegations surface close to a hearing date.
For now, Shebeshxt remains in custody as he prepares for the next round of legal proceedings. Thursday’s hearing is expected to be critical in determining whether he will remain behind bars while the case moves forward. The court will examine the full list of charges, the strength of the state’s case, and the defence’s presentation of any exceptional circumstances that justify bail.
As the situation unfolds, fans and followers await further updates. With the stakes higher than ever, the upcoming bail decision will shape the next chapter in what has become one of the most closely watched legal battles involving a South African celebrity in recent years.
