Longwe Twala, the son of veteran music producer Chicco Twala has been re-arrested after failing to appear in court last month.
This was confirmed by the South African Police Service (SAPS) on Tuesday.
“We can confirm that Longe Twala was arrested this morning in Diepkloof, Soweto, after a warrant of arrest was issued for him,” said Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi.
He will appear at the Randburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday for contempt of court.
Twala was arrested earlier this year for breaking into his father’s home.
He appeared in the Randburg Magistrate’s Court in Johannesburg where his lawyer argued he was not a flight risk and would attend all court proceedings in the matter.
Longwe and his younger brother, Sello (34), were arrested for stealing equipment worth thousands of rands while he was in the US.
Sello’s case has since been withdrawn due to insufficient evidence. However, Longwe remains under investigation as legal proceedings continue.
