Disbarred Malesela Teffo appears in court on fraud charges

Former defence lawyer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Malesela Teffo, appeared in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.

Teffo will appear on charges related to assault, fraud, corruption, trespassing and contempt of court among others.

The charges formed part of the Legal Practice Counsel complaint which saw him disbarred.

The  Council brought an application before the High Court in Pretoria for Teffo to either be suspended or struck off the roll.

The council received numerous complaints against Teffo, some pre-dating the Senzo Meyiwa trial.

These include contemptuous behaviour in court and misleading the court.

Teffo had accused President Cyril Ramaphosa, the National Prosecuting Authority and Police Minister Bheki Cele of being behind attempts to end his career.

Teffo told the court he does not know what the charges are against him and said that he wants to make representations.

Case postponed to 3 November for him to make representations.
