The family of the renowned superstar Lehlogonolo Chauke, affectionately known as Shebeshxt, has announced the funeral details for his late daughter, Onthatile Gladys Chuene.
Onthatile will be laid to rest on Saturday, 22 June 2024, at Lebowakgomo, just outside Polokwane. The young Northern Academy learner tragically lost her life in a car accident on the R37 road outside Polokwane last week, an incident that also left her parents injured.
In the aftermath of the accident, Shebeshxt’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi, recounted the immediate steps taken to secure medical assistance. Ramusi revealed that he had to call on prominent political figures, including EFF Commander in Chief Julius Malema and the Mayor of Polokwane John Mpe, to intervene after facing difficulties in getting adequate care at Polokwane Provincial Hospital.
Thanks to the intervention of Malema and Mpe, Shebeshxt was transferred and is now receiving treatment at a private hospital. The family is deeply grateful for the support extended during this challenging time.
As the community mourns the loss of Onthatile, the family has requested privacy to grieve and prepare for the upcoming funeral service.
