Young lawyer shares passion for the legal field
Dineo shares with Briefly News’ Women Empowerment Editor why she fell in love with the legal sector:
“I became a lawyer because I have always been outspoken. I think about things and try to find solutions. I am inquisitive by nature and I suppose that is the basis of my love for law.”
Despite having a long journey ahead in her fight to become an admitted attorney, the University of Johannesburg graduate is loving all the experience gained:
“This field is versatile. You go into it with a particular perspective only to have your eyes opened to a whole new world altogether.”
In 2019, tragedy struck the Eastern Cape budding lawyer
Life hasn’t always been easy for Dineo. She, too, has faced great strive and loss on her journey:
“In 2019, I lost my great-grandmother. When she passed on, I was one month pregnant with my daughter and had one module left to complete my Bachelor of Laws degree.
“She passed away at what I would describe as the peak of my life. I pray and hope that she is proud of me up above in heaven.”
The young law graduate loves being a mother to her daughter:
“A few days before I commenced my clerkship, I moved out of home with my daughter. We wake up in the morning and get ready for our days. I drop my daughter off at school and pick her up later.
“It is a journey of being stretched as a mom who lives alone with a three-year-old, and also that of a young professional who must still cement her place in the world.
“God remains our anchor and we are doing okay. I also have a loving partner who is the best father to my daughter.”
The candidate attorney shares her future ambitions, explaining that she wants to make an impact in the world:
“In the future, I would love for my name to be recognised as a force that remained resilient and kept on trying.
“As it stands, I don't aspire to have my own law firm, but just to do well and have more doors opening for me.”
