Girl to girl: study the patterns in your family. Look at what distracted, delayed, or derailed the women before you, then make intentional decisions to break those cycles.

A company allegedly billed the Ekurhuleni metro R483m using ghost workers and wildly inflated invoices… including the city's executives’ kids who were paid as engineers. 'I’ve never seen such looting in my life,' says one executive. https://t.co/2bGCdkBrQz

Why is SACR taking the @ParliamentofRSA to court?

Because South Africans were asked to make submissions on constitutional amendments and now those voices are being ignored.

This legal challenge is about accountability, constitutional compliance, and protecting meaningful public participation.

I don't think South Africa speaks enough about the Maluleke Sisters.

Young women need role models like this. We need to see more stories like these of black women being trailblazers in their respective careers.📌

Some very sad news. I learned yesterday that my friend Malandi Ntozini had passed away in a car accident in South Africa. She was the daughter of my friend Vicky Ntozini, a successful B&B entrepreneur in the squatter camps of Khayelitsha in Cape Town who was murdered by her husband in 2012. Malandi raised her younger siblings and did well in school, completing 2 years of law school before dropping out to help her family. We reconnected in 2022 after many years, and my wife and I sponsored her expenses so she could go back to law school and earn her degree at the University of the Western Cape. She graduated and qualified as an attorney and began working in family law. She gave me hope for South Africa's future. Unfortunately, the roads in South Africa are unforgiving and it is a country that devours its young. I'm trying to find something hopeful to say. Let me try this: Malandi's example, rising from extraordinary deprivation, is an example of the immense potential of South Africa. The end of her life is a reminder of the many challenges to that potential, and how fragile life is everywhere. May her memory be a blessing.

Hi @ExclusiveBooks your manager at Melrose Arch branch tells me to remove my handbag from my lap and put it where he can see it for “security” reasons. Of course he can’t explain what the security issue is. @ExclusiveBooks kindly clarify why my bag is a security threat.

4 big law firms challenging the Legal Sector Code in court today.

The firms don’t want to have 50% Black ownership in 5 years and give 40% of their briefs to Black advocates.

Solidarity is in court for the same matter.

My Dear Bothers
@GardeeGodrich @tumisole
I wanted to flag an underreported but highly important case set down for hearing at the Gauteng High Court from 4–8 May. Tomorrow..

Major commercial law firms - Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF), Bowmans, Webber Wentzel, and Werksmans + Solidarity are challenging the Legal Sector Code.

On the opposing side are key legal institutions, including the General Council of Advocates Bar of SA, PABASA, LPC and transformation bodies such as the Black Conveyancers Association
Basadi ba Molao
South African Women Lawyers Association

At stake is more than the legal profession.

This case goes to the heart of:

whether sector-specific transformation codes can deviate from generic B-BBEE frameworks.

How transformation is measured - inputs vs outcomes

and whether enforcement mechanisms in high-value professions are lawful and workable

The judgment could have implications far beyond the legal sector, potentially shaping how transformation is approached in other industries.

Given the calibre of legal teams involved and the policy implications, it is surprising how little public attention this matter has received.

I thought being a member of the legal sector, I can bring it to your attention.
