Having Dali Mpofu as her legal counsel is surely more punitive and damaging to her reputation more than anything else 🤔

What reputation? Come on now

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

Can some one balance me here: Is Dali Mpofu the only advocate in South Africa?
