In the same month, Bridgett was also selected as the participant representing the SADC region of the first course of China-Africa Young Legal Professionals Exchange Program. She will be travelling to Beijing in September this year to take part in this exchange programme and share her legal knowledge with other young lawyers on the course. The course was organised by  the Law Society of South Africa (LSSA) , and the SADC Lawyers Association in association with the China Law Society.

Bridget completed her LLB at the University of KwaZulu Natal and began her career in 2007 as a candidate attorney at Shepstone & Wyle Attorneys. After completion of her articles in 2009 she worked as an internal consultant at Investec Private Bank. In 2010 she was appointed as an associate at Read Hope Phillips Attorneys. Bridgett joined Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr as a senior associate in 2012.  Bridgett currently specialises in project finance law, specifically relating to the finance, construction, operation, and maintenance of renewable energy generation facilities in South Africa.

Apart from practising law, Majola works with a number of youth-focused organisations that concentrate on the education, mentorship, entrepreneurship and leadership of South Africa's youth.
