In Lebowakgomo, Limpopo, on Saturday, the daughter of well-known artist Shebeshxt—real name: Lehlogonolo Chauke—was laid to rest.
Onthatile Chuene, nine years old, tragically died earlier this month in an accident on the R37 road in Limpopo, close to Smelters Mine.
Shebeshxt was travelling to a concert celebrating the ANC Siyanqoba Rally when the tragedy happened.
According to reports, the rapper and two other passengers were riding in his Volkswagen Polo when it struck a truck and flipped over.
