Poet, activist, and podcaster Ntsiki Mazwai has thrown her full support behind disbarred Advocate Malesela Teffo, inviting him onto her Moya Podcast and urging the public to back him financially. The bold move has split Mzansi, reigniting fierce debate around Teffo's controversial role in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial and the circumstances surrounding his disbarment.
Ntsiki Mazwai gave Teffo unfiltered airtime to share his version of events, including his fallout with the legal system and what he believes really happened behind the scenes during the high-profile Meyiwa case. True to her reputation as a counter-culture voice, she argued that Teffo was deliberately targeted and silenced by powerful figures for challenging official narratives during the trial.
Mazwai launches crowdfunding appeal
Beyond the podcast platform, Mazwai went a step further by calling on her followers to contribute to a crowdfunding campaign aimed at helping Teffo rebuild after the Legal Practice Council's disciplinary actions left him professionally and financially strained. She described him as someone who had been 'torn apart' by the system.

The move drew widespread praise from those who felt mainstream media had abandoned Teffo, but it also attracted sharp criticism from others who believed his conduct in court fully warranted the consequences he faced.

MacG drama and divided Mzansi
Adding fuel to the fire, some fans accused fellow podcaster MacG of timing the release of his own Teffo content to coincide with Mazwai’s episode, a move many interpreted as a deliberate attempt to undercut her interview's impact.
Online, opinions were sharply divided. Below is how Mzansi reacted:
Appiahallan04:
"I now see the legal cartel working."
Zakhele_Mngadi asked:
"Did you get the same vibes when you had a conversation with him, Mamiya?"
Ntsikimazwai replied:
"He was torn apart. Yes."
Coldhearteddtt wrote:
"The aim is to make him look bad to society. They messed with his sanity when they treated him like a mad man when he was still working the Mayiwa trial. I, for one, believe his version of the story of how Senzo was killed."
MpolokengNtoi said:
"They pushed him too far, and you are right, Ntsiki, arresting him isn't the way to go. It's really sad witnessing this. 💔"
Motsoeneng528 weighed in:
"If he was white, many would have been arguing mental health issues and got offered psycho-social support, but he will be humiliated, we know."
MzansiPro96024 disagreed:
"Instead of going to court, he was supposed to go seek help from the Dr."
Simply_Msighet added:
"Akere y’all applaud when he opens his mouth. He hasn't been ok for a fairly long time. From the Senzo Meyiwa case. He's not ok."
Vuyo_Mluleki pushed back:
"Nonsense! Malesela is 100% sane. He just likes attention."
StapuraT declared:
"Criminalisation of law!"
