Longwe Twala Biography

Longwe Twala is a South African musician and son of legendary musician and producer Sello “Chicco” Twala. In August 2024, Longwe and his brother Sello Twala were arrested for theft after allegedly breaking into their father’s studios while on drugs and stealing equipment worth more than R200,000.

On Monday, 4 September 2024, Chicco addressed the media when his son appeared at the Randburg Magistrate’s Court.

“The action I took now I took as a responsible parent. My son has been having problems with drugs from way back when he was about 17 years old. So now he is 39 and he is still the same. Nothing has changed. He’s been stealing from me, he’s been doing a lot of stuff. He’s been to more than 30 rehab centres. We’ve tried to assist him as a family, we tried everything we could and he doesn’t want to change,” he told TimesLIVE.

Chicco said after his sister brought Longwe to his home from rehab he accepted him and sat him down with his brother Sello on the direction of their careers before he travelled to the US on August 3.

“I had a meeting with them because the other one, Longwe, just came back from rehab. He was looking good, he was OK. We spoke and we said he must focus on his career. He is an old man, he must be responsible and take care of the business we had. He promised. I accepted him. My sister brought him and said he’s back now and he’s OK.

“I came back on the 24th and found a lot of my stuff was missing and he was nowhere to be seen. Then I decided enough was enough. It’s time for him to be disciplined for his actions. One thing for sure is I want the law to take its cause.”
