Teffo, who withdrew as the legal representative for four of the men accused of killing Senzo Meyiwa, has claimed that the president was behind his dramatic arrest in April.
Defence lawyer Advocate Malesela Teffo will no longer pursue his argument that the Pretoria High Court is not the relevant place to conduct proceedings of the five men accused of gunning down Orlando Pirates and Bafana Bafana skipper Senzo Meyiwa.
Some of the men accused of killing soccer player Senzo Meyiwa were visibly shocked on Tuesday when their lawyer Malesela Teffo told the high court in Pretoria he was withdrawing from the case.
