@BonganiKhoza07, well, in less than 10 years your firm moulded a Magistrate and an Advocate ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ ๐ you can give Mr Phosa a run for his money.
โAfter my articles, in 1981, I opened the first black law firm in Nelspruit - Phosa, Mojapelo and Makgoba Attorneys - with two friends and colleagues. One of my partners, Phineas Mojapelo, had been in the same class as Cyril Ramaphosa and met me at Turfloop. Phineas went on to become deputy judge president of the South Gauteng Division of the High Court. Our other partner, Ephraim Makgoba, later became judge president of Limpopo, and my first article clerk, Frans Legodi, would become judge president of Mpumalanga. I donโt know if there are any other law firms that can boast so many judge presidentsโ

Petersen and Others v SASSA (1106/2023, 1139/2023 and 1053/2023) [2024] ZASCA 173 (12 December 2024)
Today the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) upheld the appeals of the first and third appellants in part and dismissed it in part, with no costs ordered in respect of this order.
Why do I have a feeling that I am Thandolethu Mabuza? ๐๐ thank you Kameel. I say this all the time. As a leader and senior at the bar, you are the best. You lead with humility and kindness. To more briefs ๐คฃ๐
I met @ZeeNgwenya when I was a candidate attorney. She was first year junior counsel. Many years later, sheโs my surrogate and leader. She led me in my first SCA appearance and today we came back with a reported judgment and a victory for client.
I'm grateful to have set foot at the SCA in my first year of practice, I was led by Louis Hollander, truly proud to have my first Saflii judgment ๐๐ฟ๐ฅน
