ETHEL MOTHAPO LEGAL SECRETARY : AFRICA GENERAL
ETHEL
Versatile & Unstoppable.
Words by Luthando Nkambule
Hailing from the small village of Taung in the North West province, Ethel proves to be a woman with a plan. We start her story off after she matriculated in 1997 and set off to Johannesburg in search for greener pastures. Upon her arrival in Gauteng in 2001, Ethel first worked as a domestic worker until 2005, when she then received an opportunity to further her studies then worked as an office assistant at a mining company in Sandton.
In 2014, she then seized an opportunity to work at MultiChoice as a Refreshment Officer and thereafter was awarded with a position as a Legal Administrator in 2015, where her interest in the Legal Department was then piqued. While working in the Legal Department, Ethel was sent on a secondment at Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr, a law firm in Sandton, for three months, where she gained a lot more skills within the Legal Department; only for her to return and be appointed as Legal Secretary, after finding that their previous secretary had resigned and she had approached her H.O.D to give her a chance - Ethel has proven to be a go- getter.
