Disbarred advocate Malesela Teffo has been found guilty of contempt of court and handed a suspended prison sentence for continuing to hold himself out and work as an advocate despite being struck from the roll.
Teffo was struck from the roll of advocates in September 2022, following a strike-off application brought by the Legal Practice Council (LPC).
In disbarring Teffo, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria found that he lacked a sense of responsibility, honesty and integrity - and no longer met the threshold for a fit and proper advocate.
