The Pretoria high court handed down the judgment in favour of the Legal Practice Council on Friday, with Teffo in absentia.

LPC advocate Mfesane Ka-Siboto previously told the high court there were 22 complaints of malpractice against Teffo. These included misleading the court, threatening clients and failing to act in an ethical and professional manner during court proceedings.“More than 75% of the complaints relate to how Teffo conducts himself,” said Ka-Siboto, adding Teffo has also been charged with assaulting a female police officer from the provincial offices in Parktown, Gauteng.

"This court finds that the respondent misled the courts in a number of occasions, he was even contemptuous in a number of instances.”The judge rejected Teffo's argument that he had not been given a fair right of reply by the LPC during its inquiry. Teffo, she said, lacked the sense of responsibility, honesty and integrity required of an advocate."It is clear that the advocate does not possess any of the above. In this instance, the removal of his name from the roll of legal practitioners is justified.”
