I have tried everything to help him, but I hope this time around he’ll be fine because he looks good.” in August 2023 – Longwe arrived at the Khumalo household with a gun because he could not get ahold of his then-girlfriend, Zandie.

“When he arrived he fought with Zandie and when they fought, there was a ruckus. He pulled out a firearm. The first bullet hit the floor and hit Zandie on the foot. Then there was a tussle for the gun and I don’t know how the trigger was pulled. That is what needs to be explained. But he wasn’t the only one holding the gun at that time, they were fighting over it,” he said.
