• Post Graduate Certificate in Money Laundering Controls, University of Johannesburg • LLM in Banking and Stock Exchange Law, University of Johannesburg • Post Graduate Certificate in Legislative Drafting, University of Pretoria • Policy Development and Management Certificate, Pro-Active College • LLB Degree, University of Venda • Legal Writing Certificate, University of Virginia in conjunction with University of Venda • Mediation Certificate, University of Virginia in conjunction with University of Venda Achievements First, having written a book on the challenges to encounter and overcome on one’s journey of being a lawyer and or legal practitioner. The reasons are personal experience and observation that those who seem to have made it or are successful within share only the glamorous portion and leave out what matters the most in terms of walking this journey and some of the hardships it has. The book is titled A Lawyer Who Never because it takes an unconventional view of the legal profession and other career prospects and other areas of specialisation contrary to the normal traditional court law route. This book is aimed at audiences from high school up until professional level. I have donated copies of these to most high schools situated in rural areas and a prize for a related competition aimed at uplifting and educating the youth mostly from previously disadvantaged backgrounds. Second, forming part of the team and work that led to the passing of the Financial Sector Regulation Act 9 of 2017, which changed the regulatory framework of South Africa and ensured that the country was on par with its international peers and thus adopted international best practices and standards, which made it easy to attract foreign direct investments and deal with challenges of financial exclusion for the most vulnerable members of the society. Mentors I have several mentors who played important roles in various stages and or phases of my career. Currently, my mentors comprise anyone who holds similar views to me and seeks to inquire and change the existing status quo without settling for the conventional. The best way to learn is to unlearn and constantly grow my expertise and intellectual capacities.
