Based on the claims Longwe made, the state prosecutor revealed no medical evidence to support his claims. Additionally, his family, including the aunt he mentioned, was unaware of his alleged illness.

Speaking to the publication regarding Longwe Twala's bail being because he posed as a person who couldn't be trusted, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) spokeswoman Phindi Mjonondwane said:

"He has demonstrated that he cannot be trusted to adhere to bail conditions. As the state, we will present further reasons to oppose his release if he applies for bail."

Twala's case has been postponed to Monday, 9 December 2024.
