Shebeshxt’s accident reignites conversation on safe driving

The horrific accident in Limpopo that nearly claimed the life popular rapper Lehlogonolo Chauke, known as Shebeshxt, has reignited talks on safe driving.

The 27-year-old musician, who is known for living on the fast lane, tragically lost his 9-year-old daughter, and his foot, after the car he was driving collided with a truck and overturned at the weekend.

It is believed that Chauke, his girlfriend, and daughter were on the way to his performance at an ANC Siyanqoba Rally celebration concert in Lebowakgomo.

While the circumstances surrounding the accident are still sketchy, a video depicting the musician driving at over 130km per hour on that fateful night has gone viral on social media.

Some users have gone as far as calling him reckless, as he is seen driving without a seatbelt and his daughter sitting in the front seat, with a safety belt on.

Shebeshxt’s family must understand that he’s a public figure and he’s got fans.. they must at least release a statement so that people can calm down and stop spreading misinformation, even if they not explaining much but say something. pic.twitter.com/A7Lb0zXnMw

Massive Price Shebeshxt has to pay for him to realise that a lifestyle change is infact compulsory. May the daughter rest in eternal Peace and the man to take the necessary steps.
