According to SowetanLIVE, Chicco was arrested on Monday after allegedly pointing a toy gun at a City Power technician he mistakenly thought were cable thieves on Sunday night.
The technicians were installing the network outside his Bloubosrand home studios in Johannesburg, where the municipal service runs over the pavement.
The area had apparently been without power for a couple of days and Twala was furious. The technicians maintain that they informed him that they were working and they had every right to be there. However, he pulled out a gun, cocked it, and put it in one of the contractor's head before allegedly assaulting them.
According to a statement allegedly issued by Twala, he said his arrest is proof that no one is above the law.
“Finally I got arrested for pointing a toy gun to two men whom I thought were cable thieves who caused a blackout to six houses at my recording studios. My arrest is victory to me and defeat to all the evil people who portray me as a mafia who is behind the Senzo Meyiwa’s killing. My arrest is proof that I am not above the law.
“Haters on social media claim that I bribed judges, police including police minister Bheki Cele whom I don’t even know to protect my son...Where will I get that kind of money to bribe all these powerful people? “I am texting from my cell as we speak, waiting for my lawyers to bail me...To my haters have fun and celebrate my arrest,” reads the statement.
Mzansi has reacted to his arrest.
The Chicco arrest is an act to divert the Senzo Meyiwa smoke....the controlled media will now "focus" on him and forget about Senzo
#Chicco is trying way too hard to make it seem he is not involved in the Senzo murder. This statement for me just made realize that he is definitely involved. https://t.co/SMWYb67bf5
If Chicco Twala escapes this easily , then our allegations about who one of the masterminds behind the Senzo case is will be proved right

Her lawyer Magdalene Moonsany, recently told Enca that should her client be required to testify in court, she will be ready to verify her honesty "That will depend on the prosecution, if the prosecution requires her as a witness in court, she is a witness in the matter and she is being compliant and cooperative in the matter, So if she is required to be present in court then she will be" said Magdalene Moonsamy.
Black Twitter has been calling on music promoters to stop booking her for gigs. Their anger stems from the alleged double standard and discrimination shown to her.
