To the best team.

Thank you to MacRobert Inc. for the honour of inviting me to celebrate their remarkable 130th anniversary.

It was a privilege to meet a new generation of directors from some of Pretoria’s prestigious law firms, while also catching up with colleagues and peers. More importantly, I had the opportunity to exchange ideas with, and listen to the stories and experiences of, those senior to me in the profession — something I continue to value immensely.

I was once again struck by the collegiality and professionalism of the directors of MacRobert, and by the strong sense of fellowship that remains such an important part of our profession.

Congratulations on an extraordinary milestone. Here’s to the next 130 years!
