WOMEN IN LAW & JUSTICE Kamogelo Ditabo Founder and director, Nexus Legal Kamogelo Ditabo is the founder and director of Nexus Legal, a firm dedicated to providing accessible and impactful legal services. Nexus Legal is committed to breaking down barriers in the legal system. Growing up in a previously disadvantaged community, Kamogelo understands the challenges many face and channels this insight into empowering others through law. A Bachelor of Laws (LLB) graduate from the University of South Africa, she draws on her personal journey from a previously disadvantaged background to guide her mission of empowering her community through law. Her days are varied — she conducts legal research, reviews cases, drafts documents, meets with clients, and collaborates with other professionals. She thrives on solving complex legal challenges while ensuring her work directly improves the lives of those she serves. Continuous learning and professional growth remain central to her approach, keeping her abreast of evolving legal trends. The inspiration for Nexus Legal came from her personal journey, including becoming the first law graduate in her family and funding her studies through side hustles. Kamogelo founded the firm to bridge gaps in access to justice, delivering innovative legal solutions that enable individuals and organizations to thrive. She is most proud of establishing Nexus Legal as a platform for community upliftment. Her guiding principle draws from Maya Angelou: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” For Kamogelo, lifelong learning and meaningful impact go hand in hand.
