Advocate Elaine Zungu smiles for a photo
Growing up in the town of Melmoth in KwaZulu-Natal, Zungu first considered dentistry as a career path. “It was a matter that was related to SASSA and there was a group of women who were operating and they called themselves the ambulance group and they were taking the ghost money. You remember there were issues about people making applications for grants for children that were not in existence. That case I will never forget.
“There have been failures, I don’t want to sit here and say there have not been failures. For example, when I applied to be a senior state advocate, I didn’t get it the first time. I went for I think it was two interviews before I finally got the post. But you need to sell yourself. You need to work hard. You need to show your skills and your knowledge. Take on anything that you are given and work on it and ask your colleagues for assistance,” explains Zungu.
“You know I have never seen myself as a role model. When people look up to you, it’s nice, it’s good. But it’s not about looking up, the evidence must speak to what you want to achieve. I cannot be about the status of the job title that you hold. Some people can go into a profession not realising that this comes with a lot of trauma. This comes with a lot of emotions. It is not just about a job title, being called an advocate.
I'm really grateful for all the efforts you have render to me with my little investment of R4000 and with joy over me after withdrawing R50,000 with your help Lisa_berry7 thank you for everything you have done for me and my family Lisa_berry7
