Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>On Monday morning, Chief Justice Bheki Maphalala admitted 11 female attorneys to the High Court, one being an advocate.<\/b><\/p>\n

These women were part of the 16 attorneys admitted by the CJ, the five others were males.<\/p>\n

They each expressed their delight and satisfaction towards the admission, adding that their hard work had paid off indeed.<\/p>\n

Most of these women completed their studies in different tertiary institutions in neighbouring South Africa including Wits University, and the University of South Africa.<\/p>\n

Chief Justice Bheki Maphalala with the 15 admitted attorneys<\/p>\n

In response to why they pursued law, this is what they had to say:<\/p>\n

Ngibongiseni Mbiajana (Wits University)<\/p>\n

I believe that justice should be accessible to every person and people knowing their rights, particularly the more corporate and private law, I think we need to integrate those with social justice. I feel good about today, it has been a long time coming, I started my journey in 2022 when I started my articles and had to sit the bar in November 2023 and here, I am today being admitted. It has been three years of anticipation and I feel good having reached this point. It\u2019s a milestone in my career and I am proud of myself.<\/p>\n

2.Mandisa Khumalo (UNESWA)<\/p>\n

For me mostly it has to do with influence from home because my dad is a lawyer (AG Sifiso Mashampu Khumalo), form a young age I just absorbed that and developed a love for law. On top of that, I love reading and all the subjects that touch on law. I feel very proud of myself because it has been a very long journey, but I\u2019m grateful that I\u2019ve made it this far.<\/p>\n

I am currently under SV Mdladla and Associates.<\/p>\n

3. Phumelele Zwane (Rhodes University)<\/p>\n

I always wanted to be in a field where I can make a difference and help someone out. I know I don\u2019t have muscle strength, so I figured why not use my mind to help people. I am working at Howe, Masuku attorneys and I feel<\/p>\n

amazing, I think it\u2019s a beautiful achievement to see my dreams come true and be the reason why I am here. Playing a significant role in getting yourself to what your dream is<\/p>\n

4. Thandeka Nkambule (UNISA)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always loved law, but I was inspired by someone very close to me who is an advocate today, being in the legal field because mostly it was dominated by men, with only a few women and I wanted to be amongst the existing ones making a difference in the world and fill up this space.<\/p>\n

I am with Ngcamphalala Attorneys, and I am very excited, after the hard work I\u2019ve put, in from doing four years, serving articles, and writing exams which were not easy. There are only 16 of us who got admitted today out of the more than 40 that wrote the exam which makes me proud.<\/p>\n

5. Nontsikelelo Bennet (UNESWA and UNISA)<\/p>\n

Nothing else has ever made sense to me, it\u2019s the only thing I ever wanted to study after school, the only thing I\u2019ve studied since other than my postgraduate in risk management, but it\u2019s still governance and law, it feels right.<\/p>\n

I worked for the Department of Labour for 15 years, In the 15th year I served my articles at the Attorney General\u2019s office because if you are a civil servant, you can do that which I did for a year. When I finished, I was lucky enough to get a job, I am now with FNB Eswatini.<\/p>\n

I feel good about today, I feel like it\u2019s an accomplishment and I\u2019m ready for the next journey, I don\u2019t know where I\u2019m headed but I\u2019m excited about what is yet to come from here.<\/p>\n
