Senzo Meyiwa trial: Court dismisses Adv Teffo’s bid for special plea

The Pretoria High Court has dismissed an application by defence lawyer Advocate Malesela Teffo in the Senzo Meyiwa trial for a special plea.
Teffo, who is the lawyer for four of the accused, brought the application on Monday morning to address the alleged confessions made by two of his clients.
Five men are currently in the dock and are being tried for the 2014 murder of the Bafana Bafana captain.
Judge Tshifhiwa Maumela ruled that cross-examination by the lawyer for the fifth accused should be allowed to continue.

#SenzoMeyiwa Maumela says in his opinion he does not have a substantive application before him. He says those confessions have been spoken about so much that if they had ears they would be itching. @ewnreporter
