IN CONVERSATION WITH TEBOGO MASHILOMPANE
Loading player...
Forum for South Africa (FOSA) notes with serious concern that Adv. Teffo and
other advocates were initially denied access to the courtroom. Later, it was
clarified that only Adv. Teffo was barred entry, and he was served with a court
order at the door of the COURT ROOM even though arrangements were made
prior. Furthermore, the documents for application were sent prior and on time.
The whole exercise prevented FOSA legal team to present its argument on the
application.
As a result, we collectively left the court room, and we will be pursuing
alternative channels to ensure that the Meyiwa family finds justice.
It is a grave injustice that other advocates and FOSA members had to suffer
because Adv. Teffo was singled out and targeted.
FOSA has no problem with holding legal practitioners accountable; however,
where there is clear victimization, we strongly condemn it.
It is our firm conclusion that justice in the Senzo Meyiwa murder case will not
be realized. We have witnessed the arrogance and conduct of those in charge of
our judiciary, which continue to undermine public confidence in the justice
system.
