POLL | What do you think of the 'Luh Twizzy' trend?

The “Luh Twizzy” TikTok trend has sparked fierce debate across the country after teenagers flocked to Mall of Africa at the weekend and created chaos. 

Young people dressed in black stormed the northern Johannesburg shopping centre and simulated a gang-style fight. 

A representative of mall management confirmed there were disruptions but denied claims someone had died during the commotion.

Described by one teen as “another level of Skrr Skrr kids”, Luh Twizzy appears to have morphed from fans of American rapper Yeat, who influenced other artists and TikTok challenges. 

This, at least locally, developed into a term to describe teenagers who often hide their face, plan large public gatherings and associate with others of the same name. It has since become synonymous with mobs and chaos.

One social media user claimed there are two groups within the trend's local movement that cannot associate with each other.

Those who associate with the Luh Twizzy name have stormed malls and left.

While some see the trend as a harmless bit of fun, others have warned it could get out of hand and urged parents to be aware of their children's activities.
