    S6E8 - Kgomotso Mufamadi, Labour law specialist

    In today’s episode I am in Conversation with Kgomotso Mufamadi who is a seasoned labour law practitioner. We spoke about her colorful upbringing where she reflected on being partially raised in the USA due to her parents being in exile. One of the things I found fascinating about her journey in the legal profession is the fact that she had no interest in labour law when she first started practicing but life had other plans for her. She grew beautifully in this niche where she has not only served as a lecturer on labour law but also served as a commissioner at the CCMA. In addition, Kgomotso unpacks the various aspects of South African labour law, including recent developments, challenges, and practical applications. The conversation provides valuable insights into the complexities of labour relations and the legal frameworks governing employment in South Africa. Kgomotso Mufamadi is Chief Executive of Lotus Labour Consulting, a boutique labour law consultancy providing unique, bespoke solutions to clients in the labour relations and the organizational development space. She is an experienced attorney, labour consultant, a former commissioner of the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration and a former lecturer at the University of Johannesburg.

    In today’s episode I am in Conversation with a super amazing and divine woman, Sharon Msiza, whom I also have the pleasure of calling a dear friend. We spoke about the value of education, especially to underrepresented communities and shared how creating access to opportunities can open a whole new world for someone who does not have information at their finger tips.
