    South African rapper Shebeshxt mourns 9-year-old daughter

    South African rapper Shebeshxt is mourning the tragic loss of his nine-year-old daughter, Onthatile, who passed away in a car accident.

    On Monday, the rapper expressed his profound grief in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “My life will never be the same without your presence.”

    Reports from the BBC detailed that Shebeshxt, whose real name is Lehlogonolo Katlego Chauke, was traveling with three passengers to perform at the African National Congress (ANC) Siyanqoba Rally celebration concert in Limpopo province on Saturday when their car collided with a heavy vehicle and overturned.

    The devastating crash not only claimed the life of his daughter but also resulted in Shebeshxt losing his foot. He shared his heartbreak on X, writing, “My heart is so so broken.. I’m trying to adjust to the accident that left me in trauma and so many tears. Losing my feet was enough, not to lose my daughter.”

    Fans and the South African music community have extended their condolences and support. The Limpopo Artists Movement (LAM) released a statement on Monday, expressing their sympathy: “We cannot imagine the pain and grief they must be experiencing, but we want them to know that they are not alone. The entire artistic community stands in solidarity with them, offering comfort and support. Shebe is not only a talented artist but also a valued member of our creative fraternity.”

    Videos of the accident have been circulating online, one showing Shebeshxt lying on the ground while paramedics attended to him.

    Tidimalo Chuene, spokesperson for the transport department in Limpopo, informed local media that the cause of the crash is under investigation.

    This recent incident marks the second car accident Shebeshxt has experienced this year. In January, he was involved in a crash that left him unharmed but damaged his vehicle.

    Mario Balotelli escapes death after car accident in Brescia, Italya

    Mario Balotelli survived a near-death experience after getting involved in a major car crash in Brescia, Italy.


    The ex-Manchester City forward emerged unscathed from an incident but was observed walking with difficulty afterward.

    The mishap occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. on November 23 when he lost control of his Audi, colliding with a wall.

    According to Sky Sports Italia, the former Manchester City striker declined to undergo a breathalyser test when the police arrived, resulting in the seizure of his driver’s licence.

    Following the crash, reports indicate that he exited the car and lay on the ground, awaiting assistance.

    Currently back in Italy from his Turkish club, Adana Demirspor, where he is recuperating from an injury, the 33-year-old has expressed his determination to vie for a spot in the Italian national team, asserting that he is the country’s premier striker.


    “If I’m well, I still consider myself the strongest. Did [Giacomo] Raspadori and [Gianluca] Scamacca play? How many shots did they take combined? Two? I want to recover and play for the national team. I always hope for the call,” he said.


    The Azzurri recently qualified for next year’s European Championships, where they will be defending their title under the guidance of former Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti.

    It was reported earlier that Balotelli was alleged to be discussing the potential of joining Paris Saint-Germain, even though he had previously played for their competitors, Olympique Marseille, throughout his varied career.

    When questioned about the possibility of joining PSG, the striker acknowledged the intensity of the rivalry he experienced during Le Classique clashes throughout his tenure in France.

  • Dominase accident kills two

    Two persons were confirmed dead Saturday evening when the car they were travelling in got involved in an accident at Dominase near Komenda Junction in the Central Region.

    Central Regional PRO of the Ghana National Fire Service, Assistant Division Officer 1 Abdul Wasiu Hudu who confirmed the incident to TV3 said the car burst a tyre, causing it to veer off the road into the bush.

    He was unable to tell the actual number of persons that sustained some degrees of injuries because they were rushed to hospital before the arrival of the fire personnel.

    Mr. Wasiu Hudu told Grace Hammoah Asare on News@10 the personnel had it hectic retrieving the dead from the mangled minibus.

    According to him, there was a beehive at where the vehicle fell, so personnel who initially went to close were attacked by the bees so they had to retreat. They had to resort to spraying the bees with water to enable them to retrieve the bodies and pull out the car.

    Responding to question on concern the service has regarding the handling of accident victims by untrained persons, the fire officer said a programme is being finalized to address that concern.

    Under that the programme, residents who live along highways would be given basic training in first aid so that they would be able to assist accident victims and reduce the fatalities hitherto caused by poor handling of victims.
