3) You are a judge presiding over the case of Jimmy. Jimmy is facing charges of assault with the intention to do grievous bodily harm and attempted murder after he got into a bar fight at a local bar.

During the trial, you notice how Jimmy's legal representative is just not properly prepared all the time, incessantly rude to you as the presiding judge on the bench. You are informed by your clerk that the legal representative also argues with Jimmy on numerous occasions using foul language in public during court recesses. You question whether Jimmy is being properly represented in terms of the principles that govern "competent lawyering" in criminal procedure.

Advise on what the standard of "competent lawyering" is in relation to an accused's right to a fair trial, with reference to the case of S v Tandwa 2008 (1) SACR 613 (SCA).
