DIRECTOR of Maimane Attorneys Letlhogonolo Maimane is a force for change, passionate for the rights of others. He has dedicated his life to fighting for justice, equality, and human rights.
From a young age, he understood the importance of access to justice. Letlhogonolo pursued a career in law to make a difference and the determination has inspired countless individuals. He was born and raised in a village called Mmakau, and later his parents relocated to Letlhabile, Brits.
Speaking to North-West Unlocked he said the decision to study law was inspired by his father who encouraged him to pursue the course. “But besides that, my motivation for law as a career was sparked by my extensive participation in debates from the tender age of 13. I participated in your LoveLife debate competitions and Road Safety Debates. Which I had the opportunity to represent North West in Cape Town in 2012. “My love for law was also ignited by my participation in student politics as I was around 2012 the Provincial Deputy Chairperson of COSAS North West, Eletsa Secondary School RCL President.”
Letlhogonolo gives a voice to those who have been silenced. As a director of Maimane Attorneys, their unwavering commitment to justice has earned them the respect and admiration of their peers and the community. He is not only a brilliant lawyer but also a dedicated legal advisor.
He has inspired countless young lawyers to follow in their footsteps, sharing their knowledge and experience to build a stronger, more compassionate legal community.When encouraging the youth, he said that to be a lawyer, be it, attorney, advocate or academic, requires discipline, delayed gratification and most importantly patience with oneself. In essence, you need to be ready to give yourself to the process even if it breaks you. “A good lawyer is as good as his facts but to be able to establish the facts you must be a good reader and a determined scholar. Law is an ever evolving discipline and requires agility, adaptability and in-depth analysis.”
“I would say balancing personal ambition with reality is one of his challenges. “On one end, I would think of myself as this thriving Suites lawyer with money but on one end reality is that the journey towards becoming the best is not an overnight ride, it takes time and patience,” he said. “Outside of that, the greatest challenge I face is skepticism about my work in particular when one is young and black. People tend to believe that the older a lawyer is the better he is which is partly true and partly false, in the sense that law is law and does not change its texture because of age, it’s only the tricks of law that age well with time.”
