In opposing a postponement in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Advocate Malesela Teffo has now claimed that the wrong court is hearing the trial, challenging the jurisdiction, and further claiming two of the accused were arrested and detained unlawfully.

Advocate Zandile Mshololo, who represents one of the accused, asked for a postponement in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria on Monday.

The first docket is the case currently before the court, while the second lists Meyiwa's girlfriend Kelly Khumalo and others as the people responsible for his murder.Senzo Meyiwa: Defence plans to apply for case to be discharged The main thrust of Teffo's argument was that the High Court in Pretoria did not have the jurisdiction to hear the trial and as a result did not have the power to postpone the matter.The jurisdiction of this matter is common cause that it's under the local division South Gauteng in Johannesburg.

He noted that the document was dated on a Sunday and questioned how Batohi could have been working when she was supposed to be at home with her children. "If it's found that this court does not have jurisdiction, we will consider that our clients were kidnapped and tried illegally in this court," he said.Document advising that Kelly Khumalo, others be charged for Meyiwa murder holds no merit - NPA

Maumela said he could not yet make a ruling as Teffo's presentation was not clear, which is why he requested heads of argument.

That is true. What is your take.

Teffo nomasiyafa attitude

Eish Teffo and his attorney are out of order.

The judge should not waste state resources, just bring in those who were present in the house of shooting and take it from there

Teffo mentioned about the period of 2nd docket was with Baloyi I ddnt hear Baloyi raised an objection while he acted as if it was new to him to Mshololo and the judge

The taxpayers are taken for a ride Little evidence so far, the wrong people are in the dock

he is right, but he must up his approach. preliminary issues, and jurisdiction must be challenged from the beginning

Teffo's concept and strategy for this case are good but his approach and execution are futile

This Judge needs to take control of these proceedings, otherwise a disaster is looming!

When you raise jurisdiction midstream, what happens when it is agreed that the court had no jurisdiction? Thatha advocate Tefo!!! That bubbling idiot is something else🤣🤣

To those who see Adv Tefo as this brilliant advocate, where do you start a case? At jurisdiction issues? Or you argue a case, waste client's monies with appearance fees in a court that you feel has no jurisdiction?

Let us assist

But his claim that this is a wrong court will further postpone this case as he must bring an application which must be heard by this court. Both defence lawyers are all over and messy sometimes. They are playing in the hands of the state who wants the case to be delayed

Notwithstanding the issue of Jurisdiction. The case is falling apart. To be convicted of a crime the state must prove the presence of all 4 elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. The accused only have to create doubt in 1 of those 4 elements.

Mosia, a junior poice officer called to process serious murder case and now crying of Task Team. Junior Advocate made decision on this serious case. juniors are getting used as scape goats in this case. Management tht earns fat checks in these departments is free.🥹

Hi all. Urgently looking for a Female Chef to come work in a Family home in Waterfall Estate Johannesburg. Potential should be based in and around Joburg as the Family will not be offering accommodation. Please email me your CV and Portfolio of Work to charmainedotworkgmail.com

This will only delay the case indefinetly. Cant keep adding things

I thought Dali Mpofu was alone.. .....here is Tefu

The NPA messed up Senzo Meyiwa's murder case from the beginning! I guess I know now why Kelly was so arrogant and calling the Twitter Gang 'imigovu', the NPA protected her.

Teffo saw right through the judge trying to avoid Batohi from taking the stand. This judge is coached overnight🤞will change his tune about Batohi testifying.

I like this Teffo...

He is afraid that his client will unemploy him🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣he made my day

Teffo is all over the show now, looks like that arrest stole his confidence.

I saw the bodyguard, the one standing next to the one with the green head wrap shaking his head in disagreement when Teffo was trying to explain why the suspects must go home and not to prison. Eish Adv Teffo sometimes he gets confused with some things.

Eish Adv Teffo was coming alright and I guess the comments made him bug headed....he sounds more like a shopsteward than an advocate now. He can't demand chambers sommer kort kort and he love chambers this one🤣🤣🤣,today no no no I viewed him in another light. Nee Here😅😅😅😅

The Judge is pissed off now, its Adv Teffo again.

Hullo Dali, mate of yours

Another failure
