Summary:
Lindelwa Zulu and Adv. Ntjana engaged in a comprehensive discussion about the evolving landscape of legal practice, focusing on the increasing preference for alternative dispute
resolution methods like mediation over traditional litigation.
Adv. Ntjana provided guidance for young advocates, emphasising respect for seniors, the value of mentorship, and the necessity of work-life balance. They shared insights on the effectiveness of mediation in resolving disputes, particularly in divorce and labour cases, while underscoring that sensitive cases, such as rape, should remain within the court system.
The conversation also highlighted the
establishment of FALA to advocate for marginalised practitioners in South Africa and its role in legal reforms, including addressing constitutionally invalid provisions.
Adv. Ntjana elaborated on KMN legal consulting’s specialisation in regulatory compliance and employment law, while discussing the challenges faced by advocates, such as the need for transformation, reducing case backlogs, and leveraging technology to enhance access to justice. They addressed the slow progress towards gender equality in the legal field and outlined the pathway to becoming an advocate, sharing their personal motivations for pursuing
a career in law.
The discussion concluded with a reaffirmation of the importance of Ubuntu, human rights, and the ongoing fight for transformation within the legal profession.
