Katlego Mokoena obtained her law degree from the University of the Witwatersrand. After obtaining her undergrad she studied and obtained her post graduate diploma in corporate law at the University of Johannesburg whilst completing the compulsory Practical Legal training (PLT). She started her legal career when she joined the National Prosecuting Authority under the Aspirant Prosecutor Program.  She then started prosecuting in the district courts and shortly after went to act as a Regional Court Prosecutor.  Having completed her PLT in order to be admitted as an Attorney Katlego left the NPA and pursued to complete her articles at Legal Aid South Africa. She is an admitted Attorney of the High Court.

From Articles she went on to practice for her own account as one of the Directors under the name and style Mokoena and Dhlamini Attorneys Incorporated. 5 years after that she got an opportunity to act as a Magistrate stationed in Soweto. She was recently appointed as a permanent Magistrate in 2021.

Katlego has been in the legal fraternity for 12 years and an admitted attorney for 9 years. When ones looks at her short track record she has literally been on all sides of the fence. A State Prosecutor, A Defence Attorney and now the bench being a Magistrate.

Katlego is pursuing her studies as she plans to equip herself in understanding the multifaceted aspects of the law.
