Pretoria - The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial is scheduled to resume in the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria this morning amid uncertainty over whether advocate ...

The Gauteng office is looking at what Teffo published and will determine whether there has been contravention of rules,” he said. He will then have to explain why he withdrew and who gave him instructions to return. On July 12, Teffo announced that he was withdrawing from the case. “The sangoma was fortunately witnessed by all the parties when coming to consult with Judge Maumela in chambers. “We have taken the view that it is unfortunate that the discourse on the trial is being dictated by the conduct of counsel outside court, as opposed to the merits of the matter being led in proceedings. “Judge Maumela started taking concoction in the form of a liquid, (he would) drink every time the court was in session, to achieve the said goal of collapsing me inside court,” Teffo said.

These were the words of Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Tuesday after an advocate accused him of using witchcraft to " ...

This is the witchcraft aimed at destabilising the defence for accused one to four, and myself being the main target in this regard." "I have a physician called Jesus, and he needs no augmentation." "I have a physician called Jesus, and he needs no augmentation."

This after instructing Attorney Tshepo Thobane, who had been working with Advocate Malesela Teffo, told the court that he will be continuing with the case as ...

This is despite Ndlovu, who has since passed on, not having been present when the crime took place. Thobane has also assured the court that whatever Teffo says in the media has nothing to do with his defence in court. — Sipho King K Kekana (@KingKAzania)August 2, 2022 Instructing Thobane has just informed the court that he will continue to represent accused 1 to 4. — Sipho King K Kekana (@KingKAzania)August 2, 2022 Accused 1 to 4 in the Senzo Meyiwa trial will not be getting new legal representatives when the trial resumes on September 5.

Adv TT Thobane will be the new attorney to represent the first four accused in the Senzo Meyiwa trial.

In withdrawing, Mr Teffo said nothing about Mr Thobane. As the instructing attorney, I imagined that I will hear from Mr Thobane what the way forward is,’’ said Maumela. There was no pre-warning that Mr Thobane will not be around. Thobane apologised to the court for not being present in court on the day Teffo withdrew.

The proceedings at the high court in Pretoria were again filled with drama on Tuesday when advocate Malesela Teffo, who withdrew from the trial on July 12, ...

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.” He also mentioned that the police and the National Prosecuting Authority had ordered him not to be a part of the murder trial. Judge Tshifiwa Maumela allowed Thobane to proceed with the proceedings despite Teffo’s letter notifying the court that he intended to come back.

Teffo, who accused the judge of trying to bewitch him, could still make a dramatic return to the trial.

Even all these advocates in the country – they are calling me, they want to come in on the matter. “If the clients instruct me to brief an advocate, whether it is Teffo or anyone else, I will do so. Teffo could still make a dramatic return to the trial.

JOHANNESBURG - The trial against the men accused of murdering Senzo Meyiwa has been postponed pending a bail application by one of the accused.

Whatever he says, he says out of his mind," Thobane said. The matter has been postponed to next month for trial to resume, but Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela said that Ntanzi’s bail application should preferably be heard before then. Advocate Teffo was a no-show on Tuesday morning, despite a letter that he penned to State Advocate George Baloyi, stating that he will continue as the lawyer for four of the accused.
