From an aspiring prosecutor in a rural magistrate’s court to becoming a senior state advocate, and now serving as the Director of Public Prosecutions in KwaZulu-Natal, this is the remarkable journey of Advocate Elaine Zungu.

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.
