Music mogul and businessman Chicco Twala was arrested on Monday for allegedly assaulting a City Power employee. The employee was outside Twala's Johannesburg recording studio to repair a fault causing a power outage.
The General Council of the Bar of South Africa says the place, timing and manner of advocate Malesela Teffo's arrest has created the impression that it was done to either humiliate him or, worse, to intimidate and harass him.
Advocate Malesela Teffo, who is representing four of the men accused of murdering Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Senzo Meyiwa, claimed without substantiation the entire crime scene had been staged by senior Gauteng police officials.
The first witness to testify in the Senzo Meyiwa murder trial was a police officer who spent most of the day detailing what evidence was bagged and tagged from the crime scene.
