The Pretoria magistrate's court heard on Thursday how former advocate Malesela Teffo refused to have his fingerprints taken or to give investigators his address after his arrest.
Former advocate Malesela Teffo will remain in police custody as his matter has been postponed to Monday.“The reason the police do not have the address is not because Teffo didn’t want to provide it. He said he was manhandled, the utterances by the arresting officers made him afraid and scared, and his security will therefore be threatened [if he provides his address].”
Teffo then offered to give another residential address, where he now lives, despite being held in custody.
