BREAKING | The advocate representing four of the five accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial on Tuesday announced that he was withdrawing from the case.

Malesela Teffo said he was quitting because of the harassment he claimed to have been subjected to by the judge, the police and the National Prosecuting Authority.

“Before I can even accept the case to represent accused one to four, there has been harassment that I should not be part of this case from the police and National Prosecuting Authority. I came to this case knowing what is going to be the consequences,” Teffo told the high court in Pretoria.Meyiwa, who was goalkeeper for Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana, was gunned down in October 2014 at the house of his girlfriend, Kelly Khumalo's, mother.

Kelly and others who were in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni, home, at the time claimed that Meyiwa was killed in a botched robbery. Teffo, however, has suggested otherwise. He had called for the charges against his clients to be withdrawn and insisted that charges be laid against Khumalo, her mother, sister, her sister's boyfriend and two of Meyiwa's friends who were present at the time of the shooting.

It’s done with senzo justice

He was useless from the start of the trial

I'll take over

He ran out of argument because he invested a lot in trashing other people instead of strategising on the case at hand.

Adv. Tefo you doing a good job, you asked the right question. Don't let the system make you lose hope. South Africa is behind you.

Kamampela🤞🏽

SthembiD Kelly told us she has powerful ancestors..... Umh

CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC This is an insult to the people of South Africa. Cyril has commissions for everything but can ask for a proper investigation on Senzo’s murder case.

I FEEL SORRY FOR MEYIWA FAMILY. THEY WILL NEVER FIND THE ANSWERS ABOUT WHO KILLED THEIR LOVELY SON. IT IS VERY PAINFUL. BUT GOD WILL NEVER FAIL.

Ayesaba amagwala he is fearful
