The National Prosecuting Authority in Limpopo says the outing was authorised by the court. Spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi said there was nothing irregular about it.
“In the last appearance, the court had ordered that he needs to go to the bank to fix anything that he needed to fix in terms of his finances, so there is nothing wrong with that,” she said.
Why Shebeshxt Was Allowed To Visit The Bank
The Shebeshxt bank visit was requested by his lawyer, Mutheiwana Sikhwari, at his previous court appearance. Sikhwari asked the court to let him go to the bank to resolve banking problems that were preventing him from paying his legal representatives. The court granted the request.
Shebeshxt, whose real name is Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, has been in custody since November 2025.
