Synopsis
Linomtha Zikelele, a bright and ambitious 22 year old from a humble village in Limpopo, has always dreamed of making a difference through law. After recently passing her board exams, she lands an opportunity to work at one of South Africa’s most prestigious law firms, under the mentorship of the legendary attorney, Mr. Moss Ndlovu. Known for handling high profile criminal cases, Ndlovu trusts Linomtha with a challenging and high stakes case, a decision that both surprises and excites her. As Linomtha navigates the complexities of the courtroom, she learns not just about law but also about resilience, courage, and moral integrity. Her determination and insight impress Ndlovu, who begins to see her potential and treats her with respect and guidance. Amid courtroom battles, family struggles, and the glitz of Johannesburg life, Linomtha faces challenges that test both her professional ambitions and her principles. From the harsh realities of her upbringing to the luxury of Ndlovu’s world, she learns to navigate power, ethics, and responsibility. This story is a journey of growth, mentorship, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of the South African legal system and the stark contrasts of wealth and poverty. Linomtha’s courage and moral compass guide her as she rises to meet extraordinary challenges, forging a relationship built on trust, respect, and professional admiration rather than romance.

Chapter 1 - Insert 1

It was a very cold rainy day but that

didn't stop people from attending this

case,it was so packed and everyone

was just on the edge of their seats

waiting for this story to unfold.I spotted

some local Journalists amongst the

crowd.

For the past few weeks every

newspaper covered this headline: "Successful veteran Doctor Rapes a 16

years old girl".

We were all amazed how a rich

and

successful man with a family can do

this , I mean he can get any lady he likes.

Women just threw themselves at him

He had hired one of the best defence

lawyers in the country, why I am saying

in the country it's because he had

represented so many criminals including

the so called celebrities all over South

Africa.

Mr Moss Ndlovu was well known

he ran the largest Law Firm in South

Africa and it was every Law's Graduate

dream to work in his company including

myself.

See I had just finished writing my board

exam and I was a newly admitted

attorney of the High Court of South

Africa. Law was my passion since I was

a little girl, I was inspired by my late

uncle. I thought it would be so easy to get a job after graduating but then the

struggle to get employed was so real.

I was listening so attentively during the

proceedings of the case, the state case

was so strong, they had brought in one

of the best prosecutors, Mrs Nelly

Moloto. She was famous for winning

cases, more especially rape cases.

Rumours were going around that she

was raped as a little girl numerous times

and never got justice so that

encouraged her to study Law and fight

for women who have been raped and oh

boy she fought hard, she hardly lost any

case that had to do with rape.

Mr Moss Ndlovu was handling this case

himself, he didn't send one of his attorneys from his firm, I guess it's

because it was a very big case.
