Gauteng NPA spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane accused Teffo of using the victim card and said that as an advocate he should be responsible enough to attend court. Failure to appear before the court is a serious offence and the necessary action needs to be taken according to Mjonondwane.
SABC News reports that the magistrate ruled that the R10 000 bail was reasonable and justified and that this was the second time that a warrant of arrest had been issued for Teffo.
