Advocate Teffo asks magistrate to recuse himself as case postponed to July

Advocate Malesela Teffo, who was arrested in court during Senzo Meyiwa’s murder trial, wants the magistrate presiding his case to recuse himself.

Teffo made a brief appearance in the Hillbrow Magistrate’s Court on Friday, where his lawyer, Tshepo Thobane, revealed that they have laid a complaint against Magistrate Bradshaw with the authorities.

While Thobane asked that the matter be transferred to a different court, Teffo’s case has been postponed to July for submissions.

“Your matter is now postponed to the 8th of July back in this court.

“It is for the state to proceed to bring the application it wishes to bring together with the court dealing with the application by the defence to recuse itself in the matter. Your bail is extended until then at 08:30 on the 8th of July,” Magistrate Bradshaw said.

Teffo, who is currently out on R10,000 bail, is the defence advocate representing four of the suspects accused of murdering former Bafana Bafana captain Senzo Meyiwa in 2014.

Police arrived at the Pretoria High Court on 28 April to arrest Teffo while the murder trial was underway.

At the time, police said Teffo was arrested because he missed a previous court appearance.
