Ziningi Hlophe on 12 years in legal practice and transitioning into an in-house role at a major mining company
“If you’re going to do something inherently difficult [like working in corporate], the least you can do is do it as yourself” - these are some of the wise words Ziningi Hlophe empathetically shared with us in this raw episode of the VOTF, and I was particularly struck by these words because they ring true for almost individual trying to make a name for themselves in a different or challenging environment while balancing the need for acceptance and assimilation.

In today’s episode we meet Thandekile Mbatha, a proud Zulu girl born and bred in the Free State, where she proudly says she learnt how to fluently speak SeSotho before her mother tongue.

If I could sum up Kgalis interview into a sentence it would probably read as follows: “this is a moment of gratitude to the people along the path”. From the moment the interview began, Kgali made a point to sing praises of gratitude to the men and women who have affirmed her, pushed her, told her the uncomfortable truths, asked her compelling questions and...
