The bail appeal by Lekompo musician Lehlogonolo ‘Shebe Maburna’ Chauke has been dismissed at the Polokwane High Court in Limpopo.
While delivering judgment, Judge Karin Pillay argued that Shebe committed Schedule 6 offences while on bail.
Chauke is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, culpable homicide and assault GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm), among others.
The offences were allegedly committed on separate occasions while he was on bail.
Pillay argued that Shebe Maburna only raised the need for medical care for a broken leg in his second bail application.
Judge Pillay ruled that his need for treatment does not qualify as a new fact.
The Judge also ruled that the birth of Maburna’s child this year while he was in custody does not qualify him for release on bail.
Judge Pillay says the child can still be taken care of by the singer’s royalties. –Reporting by Avhapfani Munyai
