Longwe Twala look-alike stuns Mzansi

In more Senzo Meyiwa updates, Briefly News caught online reactions to a frail man who bears a resemblance to Longwe Twala, one of the suspects in Senzo Meyiwa's murder.

Twala was seemingly off the radar for some time although this latest encounter with his look-alike stunned Mzansi, with many convinced that Meyiwa was avenging his death.

However, it appears his trial may take long before a conclusion is reached after some evidence could not be linked to any of the suspects in the murder.
