I still need to consult with Chauke to get clarity,\u201d he admitted, saying he needed more time to study the newly added matters \u201cso that we can see whether the state has a tight case against my client.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, Ramusi insists his priority is to secure bail for the musician, born Lehlogonolo \u201cShebeshxt\u201d Chauke, arguing that the star has far too much at stake to remain behind bars during the festive season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has a lot to lose if he doesn\u2019t get bail. As you might know, he is one of the most fully booked artists for performances throughout the festive season,\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>The six additional charges now merged with the current docket include three counts of attempted murder, possession of an unlicensed firearm, malicious damage to property and robbery with intent to cause bodily harm.<\/p>\n<p>A warrant linked to these charges was first issued in 2023 and never withdrawn.<\/p>\n<p>Ramusi described the state\u2019s move as an \u201cambush\u201d, saying he would go through each charge thoroughly before determining the strength of the case: \u201cI will need to go through each and every charge so that I understand the merit of each one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest attempted murder case arises from a shooting in Ladanna, outside Polokwane, on 19 October.<\/p>\n<p>Police said the suspect allegedly got into a heated argument with another driver and later fired multiple shots at the victim\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-year-old man was seriously injured and taken to hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Initially handled by Westernburg SAPS, the case was later escalated to the Provincial Investigation Unit.<\/p>\n<p>A new warrant was issued on Tuesday and executed the following day, with police also seizing two vehicles belonging to the musician for forensic testing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Shebeshxts #lawyer #blindsided #charges #added #ahead #bail #bid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Shebeshxt Shebeshxt\u2019s legal woes have deepened, and his attorney, Lot Ramusi, is scrambling to catch up before the controversial&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43286"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43286\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43288,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43286\/revisions\/43288"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
