While Mzansi is still processing the story of a seven-year-old girl whose innocence was stolen, allegedly at Bergville College, a bold woman is gearing up to fight the higher powers who failed her.
A local attorney, using the TikTok handle @legalames, volunteered to assist the family, touching the hearts of many social media users disturbed by what happened to the little girl.
The lawyer offers her services
In the clip, @legalames asked anyone who had Cwecwe's mother’s number to share it with her or circulate the clip until it reached her. She then expressed how flawed the South African justice system is, emphasising that urgent change is needed, especially in how the case was handled so casually. She questioned why the matter only gained attention after the mother went on social media. The lawyer criticised the handling of the situation by the school, the Department of Education, and even the police.

She then advised the family to consider pursuing a civil case due to the poor handling of the case, acknowledging that although it wouldn’t make the situation easier, the child would need special care and psychological support, which would impose significant financial strain on the family. The lawyer offered to connect the mother with specialists in civil cases, assuring her that she wouldn’t have to pay a cent.
