Advocate René Govender, Mr. Govender Admin, SAITHPA
I passed the OSCE.
The words I have may not be enough to describe all the emotions I feel. Joining SAITHPA in November 2021 feels like yesterday.
You allowed me to join a court action that secured a spot in both parts of the examination, you prepared me for it and you reassured me it was do-able. What you have done for such a large number of people has restored and built great the hope I thought lost in South Africa.
Advocate Govender, you are a calm voice of sound reason, and I owe you more than I could possibly give in return for what you have given me; an opportunity to prove myself.
You have taught me not only how to read between the lines of legal terms, but how to appreciate the constitution and how it benefits us, and above all else, what it means to be truly South African (kind, understanding and tolerant). I congratulate you and Admin on the success of the amazing work you do and the endless hours put into it. I have all the respect in the world for what you stand for. I place my hands together when I say thank you for making this a reality. You are one in 8 billion, and deserve the best!
Warmest regards,
Neil Gillies
