Advocate Teffo’s Zuma defence – ‘whole country will be set on fire’ if he’s disbarred
In his arguments, Teffo claimed that the Meyiwa family and many South Africans will be concerned about him being disbarred, which might lead to unrest.
“In light of the above paragraphs, any adverse finding against advocate Malesela Teffo will set the whole country on fire. Our African Arab spring may be inevitable, as stated by former state president“Therefore, the decision-makers in this regard must not allow their emotions to take charge of them, for the sake of peace and justice in the country.
Among his demands were that police minister Bheki Cele be fired and that Meyiwa’s former girlfriend Kelly Khumalo be prosecuted in the trial. Teffo also demanded that State advocate George Baloyi be removed from the case, as he “does not have a title to prosecute in this matter”.Teffo had previously claimed the application to disbar him was orchestrated by the police, National Prosecuting Authority and courts.He argued that the police and the NPA are working together to have him disbarred to prevent him exposing a corrupt relationship between the two.
