Advocate Teffo back on the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial (Johannesburg Sunday World)

Advocate Malesela Teffo who dramatically turned his back on the Senzo Meyiwa trial, is surprisingly back and will continue representing.

Teffo said he made history by becoming the first lawyer, and the first advocate to get arrested in court. “The story of the people entering the house and killing Senzo is nonsensical. The Presidency does not participate in criminal investigations or trials and is not involved in any perceived or actual harassment of advocate [Malesela] Teffo. When he withdrew on June 12, Teffo said his withdrawal was as a result of harassment by the state and court. Teffo, who is seen as an “attention seeker” on social media, has been topping the Twitter trends board for his bustling character since the commencement of the trial. We have since resolved my withdrawal issue with the relevant stakeholders in this matter, and I am still the defence counsel for accused one to four.”
