Disbarred advocate Malesela Teffo was arrested on charges of fraud, theft, assault and malicious damage to property.

On Monday, Teffo made his second appearance in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court following his arrest last week. According to the defence, Teffo's refusal to comply with the court order stems from his belief that he was never charged.
