Longwe Twala, the son of legendary musician and producer Chicco Twala, has reportedly returned home from rehab and is back on the streets and on drugs.
According to Zimoja, a source revealed that his father is devastated, but his brother — Twala Twala — is not surprised at all.

Longwe is back on the streets, according to an unnamed source, because he is using drugs again, and Chicco has given up on him.
“Nobody knows what happened to him to ditch his home and go back to drugs. His family, especially his father Chicco is devasted,” said the source.
Longwe has previously been linked to drugs and was one of six people present the night Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa was gunned down in October 2014. However, his father revealed that he was out of rehab in November 2022.
Chicco told journalist Motso Modise outside the Pretoria High Court on 15 November 2022 that the police were struggling to find his son because he was in rehab.
Longwe’s name came up during the cross-examination of Meyiwa’s friend, Tumelo Madlala, during the murder trial last November.
According to Timothy Thobane, the defence counsel for accused numbers one through four, Madlala’s statement claimed that Longwe was the one who shot and killed Meyiwa.

The statement read: “I was for the first time to see Longwe Twala, and I did not tell anyone or the Meyiwa family that Senzo was killed by Longwe Twala because he did not have a firearm with him, instead he ran away [sic].”
When questioned about his statement, Madlala claimed that it was written by a police officer, not him. Despite having agreed before responding that he had signed and approved all of his statements.
Another Senzo Meyiwa documentary is in the works, according to Zimoja, and it will reportedly feature musicians Kelly and Zandie Khumalo, their mother Ntombi Khumalo, and Meyiwa’s friends, Mthokozisi Twala and Tumelo Madlala. Longwe will also be included.
Zakhele Shiba and Lucky Dumakude, who produced and directed the documentary Senzo Meyiwa: The Second Docket, revealed that Longwe was sober when they interviewed him.
They, however, refused to comment on allegations that he is back on drugs: “This is a personal matter and has nothing to do with the coming documentary.”
