Controversial artist Shebeshxt, whose real name is Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, is reportedly facing legal issues in Botswana after not showing up for a prepaid performance. Known for his unpredictable behavior, Shebeshxt has been involved in various incidents, from altercations with fans to on-stage gun displays. The latest controversy involves a missed engagement at the Simply Piano Music show last December, which has led to potential incarceration if he enters Botswana, as per a temporary order from the Lobatse Magistrates Court.
Despite a busy schedule with over 50 bookings in December, including two in Botswana, Shebeshxt’s absence at a fully paid gig has prompted Boxyard Events to take legal action. This isn’t the first time the artist has missed a performance; a similar situation occurred at the Red Square DJ Knock-Out event, leading to disappointment and lack of communication from his side. His wife and manager, Kholofelo Chuene, has declined to comment on these allegations. The ongoing legal situation and Shebeshxt’s reluctance to visit Botswana due to fear of arrest have added to the artist’s controversial reputation.
