25, Sinenhlanhla Passcara Mthembu founded her law firm, ‘Passcara and Partners Inc. in Durban, South Africa, specializing in family law and personal injury, breaking age barriers.
“I took it as a challenge upon myself to do it. I then decided that no matter what people say I’m going to do this,” she told Power FM. “It was difficult from the point where I started my degree to where I am now. I don’t regret anything.”
Mthembu says she’s confident with her new venture despite the challenges that lie ahead of her. “What is hard in our field is marketing yourself. There is a thin line between marketing and touting. Touting is like when you are asking or begging for clients,” she said. “It makes it hard to market because you don’t want to cross that thin line that the [legal] council has put for us.”
She recently celebrated the huge achievement on her Twitter where she introduced herself as the founder and director. She wrote, “Allow me to Introduce myself. My name is Sinenhlanhla Passcara Mthembu and I am the Founder and Director of Passcara and Partners Incorporated. I am a 25 year old and the owner of this Law Firm. I am to Inspire. If I did it then so can you!!! 👩🏽💼⚖️
