On 23rd March 2023 Courtroom Mail released their 2023 Courtroom Mail 100
SHID. This is a recognition that runs throughout Africa. An extract of what
the recognition means is canvassed below.
I, Atisha Ghela and attorney who practices out of the Umhlanga Ridge
prescient was one of the 100 female lawyers showcased on this Sub Saharan African platform.
“Every year, we celebrate a list of female lawyers making strides in the legal profession. SHID stands for Super Heroes, Heroes, Influencers and Disruptors. This year, in commemoration of International Women’s Day, we are celebrating our female colleagues of Sub Sahara Africa descent who founded or co founded their Law firms or any other organisation making significant impact in the legal profession.
We are celebrating once again this category of women who we last showcased about three years ago , with the inclusion of founders/ co founders of organisations significantly impacting the profession and chartering new frontiers . The list is aimed at inspiring female lawyers especially the younger and aspiring females across sub Sahara Africa. With this project, we also aim to create role models for students studying law at Universities and that young female lawyer graduate who just qualified to practice. Like we say all the time, we cannot fit in our wonderful female colleagues into just a hundred people but we can create the space a hundred at a time. We know that there are many of our female colleagues who have manifold achievements and doing great things around the globe. Many of them may not be on this list. It certainly is not our intention to diminish the accomplishments of those not mentioned. We do hope however to see their names on the list in the future. Due to time constraints, the list is not the sum of a hundred , However the category name remains Courtroom Mail 100 whether there are less than a 100 or surpass that number. Courtroom Mail remains committed to promoting our female colleagues doing great things on the continent in every way we can and it is our contribution towards the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the profession. We are very grateful to the members of the selection panel whose names are listed below (after the Courtroom Mail 100) for finding time to serve including the chairperson Rehana Khan Parker( South Africa) and Mulikat Thomas( Nigeria) who served in an advisory role. Our sincere appreciation goes to our Super Heroes who made their profiles available to be used for this project. There is no doubt that the younger generation of female lawyers will be inspired by what they have done. The list is in no particular order and not numbering it is intentional.”
I have been called over the years as an expert on News24, Parent24 and SAFM
as a legal expert. There are other South Africa lawyers that have been showcased and in honour of International Woman’s Month it would be a privilege to be showcased in any one of your publications. I can only hope that my story and journey inspires young women to dream big.
