CDH Women Empowerment podcasts

10 April 2023 marked 100 years since the Woman Legal Practitioners Act 7 of 1923 was promulgated. The Act contained a single section, which reads: “Women shall be entitled to be admitted to practice and to be enrolled as advocates, attorneys, notaries public or conveyancers in any province of the Union, subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to men…”. As we commemorate 100 years of women in law, we bring you insightful episodes of the CDH Women Empowerment podcast series. This is where several members of our firm discuss the importance of women empowerment in the legal profession.
