Teffo, who had been disbarred from practicing law due to multiple professional misconduct allegations, caused a commotion during the proceedings, leading to his ejection.

Security personnel swiftly intervened, escorting the disbarred advocate out of the courtroom. His removal was met with mixed reactions from those present, with some expressing relief at the restoration of order, while others voiced concerns about potential disruptions to the trial.

Teffo’s presence in the courtroom had already drawn criticism, as his disbarment raised questions about his credibility and qualifications. His involvement in the case had sparked debate about the legal system’s vetting processes and the standards required of legal professionals.The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by the justice system in ensuring a fair and smooth trial process. With Teffo’s removal, the focus can now shift back to the core objective of the trial – to seek justice for the untimely death of Senzo Meyiwa.
