According to ZiMoja, as Longwe's bail application hearing approaches, Chicco hopes the courts deny him bail as he fears his son will disappear and fail to make his next court appearances:

"The fact that the defence in the Senzo Meyiwa case would be calling him to testify makes it even more worrying because I know for a fact that he will disappear and miss both his court appearances."

Longwe's name was recently raised during the Senzo Meyiwa trial, where he was suspected of being the trigger man.
