Advocate Teffo's conduct in Senzo Meyiwa trial shameful, say colleagues: Unethical: that is how advocate Malesela Teffo’s dramatic withdrawal from the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been described by people in the legal fraternity.

“I am concerned about his conduct from a strictly personal point of view,” said law expert Dr Llewellyn Curlewis.

“I can no longer continue in this court based on the harassment I am receiving, both from the state and from the court,” Teffo said. Msimeki’s 23-page judgment made shocking revelations about how Teffo has disrespected him in court, even going as far as telling Msimeki he was “not a sober judge” and was “73 years old and ought to have retired at 70 instead of remaining in court carrying a political mandate without a case”.

Msimeki further alleged Teffo had said the judge could report him to whomever he wished and nothing would happen to him. The code, gazetted in 2019, states that legal practitioners shall deal with the judicial officer, court staff and all other persons in court with civility and respect. Speaking to eNCA earlier in the week, Majavu said it was not unusual for defence advocates to withdraw as a result of the breakdown in the relationship of trust between a client and advocate or for reasons of ethical considerations.

Very sad all round

He is calling a spade a spade. How come they have 4 suspects detained and drag feet?

Playing to the gallery & Two minutes fame on TV will destroy Teffo's legal career.

It is not surprising why his colleagues saying is unethical because this thing of justice commission is not transformed. They still call a person my Lord o eying to white monopoly, hence Robert Mugabe said he has only one Lord in heaven,they are confused, Teffo showed braveness.

A judge is accused no 1.

He wanted to be famous, he got his 15mins of fame..
