Tweeps have hailed former defence lawyer in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial, Advocate Malelesela Teffo for ‘revealing’ the second docket which implicates the goalkeeper’s then girlfriend Kelly Khumalo.
Adv Teffo was reportedly one of the first people who had access to the docket (Cas 375/01/2019) from the defence, he then introduced it to the North Gauteng High Court where the trial is sitting.
As previously reported, Meyiwa was shot at Kelly Khumalo’s mother’s home in Vosloorus, Ekurhuleni and according to the second docket, all those that were in the house are said to have hatched a plan to say armed robbers had entered the house and shot Meyiwa. A neighbour, Maggie Phiri is said to have cleaned the crime scene before the arrival of the police.
TWEEPS HAIL ADV TEFFO FOR ‘REVEALING’ SECOND DOCKET
In the beginning of the trial, many South Africans felt that Adv Teffo was heading in the right direction and had faith that the Meyiwa family would finally get justice. However, as time went by many suggested that social media “fame” and the attention from the media that got to him and he started making the trial about him.
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) recently labelled Adv Teffo as an attention-seeking person who has an uncontrollable desire to be in the news cycle.

The Red Berets said Teffo is an embarrassment to the legal profession, because he has used the tragedy of the late Senzo Meyiwa to build a profile for himself.
“It is an objective fact that Malesela Teffo would not be a person of interest to the public or the media if it was not for the never-ending case of Senzo Meyiwa. Since he has been removed from that process he is seeking other avenues to remain a topic of discussion.”

Despite all that, tweeps have hailed the advocate for the role he played in telling the court about the second docket which the Meyiwa murder trial continues to centre around it.
“Adv.Teffo was going to expose a lot of shenanigans. Already he has given us a glimpse of corruption by the police. We can now connect the dots,” @WakaNorman tweeted.
