Longwe Twala's Legal Battle: Theft Trial Postponed Amidst Turmoil
- Longwe Twala recently appeared briefly in court for his ongoing theft case.
- The former child star faces charges for allegedly stealing thousands worth of belongings from his father, the legendary Chicco Twala.
- Twala's case has been postponed once again, with him remaining under strict house arrest.

Well, folks, here’s the latest twist in the saga of Longwe Twala. His theft trial, which has been dragging on for quite some time now, has been postponed once again. It seems like the courtroom drama isn’t over just yet.
Another Delay: Twala’s Theft Case Pushed Back
Longwe Twala made a quick appearance at the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday, February 5th, 2025, for his theft trial. But guess what? The case didn’t get resolved this time either. The courtroom doors closed on yet another postponement, leaving everyone waiting for answers.
Longwe, the son of the iconic musician and producer Sello “Chicco” Twala, is accused of breaking into his father’s house back in 2024. Allegedly, he walked away with studio equipment and other valuables worth over R200,000. It’s a story that has captured the nation’s attention, and not in a good way.

According to TshisaLIVE, the court decided to push the case back to February 17th to give Longwe’s lawyer more time to get fully up to speed with the details. This isn’t the first time the case has been delayed, and it likely won’t be the last. As they say, the wheels of justice turn slowly.

Now, if you thought the story couldn’t get more complicated, think again. There have been whispers about Longwe going missing at some point, which adds another layer of intrigue to the situation. Who knows what other surprises this case might bring?
Under Lock and Key: Longwe’s House Arrest
Longwe was originally charged alongside his brother, Sello, but now he’s standing alone in the spotlight of this legal battle. The once-famous child star has been slapped with strict house arrest rules, confined to his home in Diepkloof, Soweto, from 6 PM to 6 AM.
Under these conditions, Longwe is prohibited from using drugs or alcohol, entering his father’s house or workplace, and must stay away from any potential witnesses until the trial concludes. It’s a tough set of rules, but it’s clear the court wants to ensure he stays put.
Interestingly, this arrangement seems to be the best-case scenario for Chicco Twala, who had reportedly hoped his son would be locked up behind bars. He feared Longwe might vanish if given too much freedom. Now, under house arrest, Longwe will be subjected to random drug and alcohol tests without warning. It’s a strict regimen, but it’s all part of the legal process.
Chicco Twala Weighs In on Senzo Meyiwa Case
In a separate but equally explosive development, Chicco Twala has made headlines with a bombshell statement regarding the ongoing Senzo Meyiwa case. If you’re unfamiliar, Meyiwa was a beloved soccer star whose murder has been a national talking point for years.

Chicco, never one to shy away from controversy, made a bold claim in an earlier report by Briefly News. He suggested that his son, Longwe, and singer Kelly Khumalo might know who the real culprit behind Meyiwa’s death is. Here’s what Chicco had to say:
“If there’s someone who is going to jail for killing Senzo, it will either be Kelly or my son, not me. I don’t know who killed Senzo.”
It’s a bold statement that has sparked heated discussions across the country. Chicco’s words carry weight, and with the Meyiwa case still unsolved, every new revelation adds fuel to the fire. The legal world continues to watch closely as these cases unfold, each twist bringing new questions and challenges.
