Advocate Malesela Teffo, who the Legal Practice Council applied to have him disbarred, spent most of his time in court on Friday arguing for a postponement to no avail instead of focusing on the damning allegations against him. | AlexMitchley

The Legal Practice Council had brought an application to have advocate Malesela Teffo either suspended or struck from the roll.He claimed he was never given any court papers, but the court pointed out this was untrue, given the correspondence in its possession.

The LPC detailed almost two dozen allegations against him, including disrespectful and contemptuous behaviour in court, misleading the court, assault, and the misappropriation of monies from clients. Teffo spent the first part of his argument referring to the Constitution, saying his rights had been violated by the LPC and the court hearing the case. He specifically honed in on Section 35 of the Constitution which focuses on the rights of an arrested, detained or accused person.

However, he did not provide any information or evidence to this effect. Before Teffo could return to the constitutional arguments, advocate Mfesane Ka-Siboto, for the LPC, objected to Teffo basing his arguments on Section 35. However, Acting Judge Thembi Bokako stopped Teffo in his tracks, informing him the court was in possession of the documents which included correspondence the LPC had sent the bundle of documents to him. The court on Thursday had also found Teffo was supplied with the documents despite his denial.

Despite Teffo's assertion, the court had also previously heard he had submitted an answering affidavit after receiving the notice of motion and founding papers more than a year ago.

AlexMitchley Teff is reckless..

AlexMitchley He should not have this hot case.

AlexMitchley He didn't took proceedings seriously and kept on disturbing the counsel for the LPC showing judges who must discipline him how ill disciplined he is... He gave them even more reasons why he should be removed from the roll of advocates.

AlexMitchley Oh. Sometimes the Mpofu defence doesn't work.
