Khaya Koko: Dan Teffo is the staring of the Senzo Meyiwa trial: Advocate Dan Teffo, who represents four of the accused in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, is the perfect Hollywood lead
“Staring” is a township colloquialism — commonly known as Tsotsitaal — and derived from the word “starring”, as in the lead actor in a movie.
One would think that the prosecutor, advocate George Baloyi, would be the one to lead the credits in this blockbuster trial that is searching for the truth in the gunning-down of a celebrity who had ascended to national icon status by the time of his death. Teffo’s game plan was evinced on Tuesday, when the advocate cross-examined sergeant Thabo Mosia, a forensic field worker, the state’s first witness.
In seeking commentary on what he called Ndlovu’s “bizarre” police work, Teffo reminded Mosia that he was testifying under oath, and that there were consequences should the officer lie on the stand.
