According to reports, one of the suspects is alleged to have revealed Twala’s involvement in the murder during questioning.

Twala has also faced financial consequences, with several of his business partners severing ties with him as a result of the allegations. In a statement released in the wake of the arrests, Gallo Record Company, one of South Africa’s leading music labels, announced that it would be terminating its business relationship with Twala. The statement read, “As a responsible corporate citizen, Gallo cannot ignore the serious allegations that have been made against Mr Twala. Until Mr Twala’s name has been cleared of any wrongdoing, we have no choice but to sever ties with him.”

Meyiwa’s murder is just one of many high-profile cases that have gone unsolved in the country, and there is a growing sense of frustration and anger among the public. Many believe that the police are either unwilling or unable to solve these cases, and that the justice system is failing to hold those responsible accountable.

The case has also highlighted the dangers of social media and the impact that it can have on people’s lives. In the wake of the arrests, Twala’s name was trending on social media, with many people expressing their outrage and disgust at the allegations. However, some people also took to social media to express their support for Twala and to question the validity of the allegations against him. This led to a heated debate on social media, with both sides accusing the other of being biased and uninformed.

In conclusion, Chicco Twala’s alleged involvement in Senzo Meyiwa’s murder has had far-reaching consequences for him and his family. He has faced a backlash from the public and his industry peers, and his reputation has been damaged. He has also suffered financial consequences, with several of his business partners severing ties with him.
