Introduction
A Full-Circle Moment: From CSI Beneficiary to Candidate Attorney
Nonhlanhla Twala’s roots trace back to Duduza, the same community where MNS Attorneys’ founding partner, Mncedisi Ndlovu, grew up. Her journey with MNS Attorneys began in 2012, when she was awarded the Dux Learner Award at Dan Radebe Primary School. Recognising her academic potential, MNS Attorneys provided her with a laptop to support her studies, marking the beginning of a meaningful relationship.
By 2017, Nonhlanhla had excelled further, being recognised as one of the top 10 Grade 12 learners at MOM Sebone High School in Duduza. Once again, MNS Attorneys stepped in to support her and other top learners, awarding them a Certificate of Recognition and a R15,000 stipend to assist with their transition to university.
In June 2024, Nonhlanhla successfully completed her LLB degree and has now joined MNS Attorneys as part of their candidate attorney cohort. This full-circle moment is a testament to the long-term impact of Corporate Social Investment and the importance of nurturing young talent.
