A woman fulfills her dream of becoming a lawyer
In another story, Briefly News reported about a woman who celebrated being an admitted lawyer after being inspired to become one in Grade 11.
Yvonne Princess Shabangu is not just a talented lawyer, she is also highly educated, holding a Master of Laws from the University of Johannesburg.
The perseverant woman has overcome so much! From an accident that almost led to her dropping out, to not attending any of her graduations. The journey has been long and Yvonne deserves all the bells and whistles.
