I qualified as a Family and Divorce Mediator through the Social Justice Association in May 2022 . I received my first NABFAM accreditation on 14 June 2023. I remain a member in good standing of the Social Justice Association, and my current accreditation runs from July 2026 to July 2027. As this is an ongoing process, I attend CPD Point webinars and other training to keep my accreditation current. I have worked at the Protea Soweto Children’s Court on a pro bono basis from January 2024 to date, as this is also an ongoing project run by ACR Community (Alternative Conflict Resolution). I have been mediating privately since October 2023.

Practicing law is not a job. It is a commitment to a profession that has roots in every area of life - a profession built on the resolution and rectification of conflict and inequality.
