“I am not pleading with the Madlanga Commission to call me, and I don't need special treatment. But I have a desire to tell the commission. Even Madlanga knows very well that I’ve been engaging with him, even before President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed this so-called commission,” Teffo said in an interview with SAFM.

He dismissed claims that he was lobbying to be called as a witness, insisting his appearance before the commission is warranted.

“Those narratives that I’m pleading with the commission before it wraps up — I’m not pleading anything. I deserve to be there. And if you want to call it ‘spilling the beans’ let it be”

Teffo claims he has a duty to protect the country and that his evidence is critical to exposing alleged criminality and political interference within the criminal justice system.

“Whatever has been happening in the judiciary is wrong, because the judiciary is rotten to the core,” he said.

The controversial disbarred advocate insists he has concrete evidence implicating magistrates and judges in wrongdoing.
