The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has confirmed that the defence lawyer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case, Advocate MaleselaTeffo has been charged for failure to appear in court in January on trespassing charges.

and will be back in the same court at end of next month. He insists that top officials at the NPA and SAPS are behind his arrest.“He is the one who should’ve been responsible enough to attend court and obviously once he’s in contravention of a court order for him to appear in court, it is an offense and as the NPA we need to take necessary action.

“In light of the fact that this is the second time that the accused has not appeared in this court and this is the second time that a warrant of arrest was authorised, issued and executed against the accused, I am of the view that an amount of R10 000 is suitable, reasonable and justified. The bail amount is accordingly then ordered by this court to stand at R10 000.”

Yeah, instead of waiting for him to fisnish his case they arrested him during court proceedings. I smell a rat. Secondly sone murder accused criminals gets out on R500 bail yet his was set at R10 000. Ne! Double standsrds and hidden agendas! SAPoliceService.

NPA IS USELESS...

Yhooo, such a show and disrespect of the court 😡

Average people are becoming rich everyday in this world economy despite the pandemic through Crypto investment like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BoostCoin, BNB, Bitcoin Cash and others . You don’t have to send anyone money Ask ScottMark56 how?

They couldn't wait get him outside, do they even know how to read the person's rights?

Real thieves are in government and are never humiliated like that...this cowntry 💔🙆

Why they did not inform Adv Teffo that when he is done with the cross examination he must go to the police station for that certain charges. Maybe the saps thought we will think otherwise about Adv Teffo and we won't believe what he was saying during the cross examination.

What a shame, our justice system is turned into a joke

I dont believe this he is being arrested infront of the whole world because of trespassing that happened in January. Yho! Something is not right with the SAPoliceService and we answers.

Trespassing Public institutions? Banana republic has reached rooftop under Thumamina scam. It's a shame...

The NPA timing in executing this arrest has a lot to say about their character.

Even if he has been charged but he has right to human dignity. What trauma has been indulged to his spouse, children, law fraternity and to us south african citizens 😭😭😭😭

Lol, too far in to back out now... Ppl are watching might as well give them a show

This drama was all about trespassing.....I thought he killed someone. R10 000 bail,yet a white old man killed a black couple and receive R1000 bail.....it shows who run S.A.

Did they mention the timing of the arrest, because one can only wonder why wait for so long🤔
