Episode Details

Retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga is sounding the alarm for a moral reset in South Africa’s legal profession, calling for restored dignity, integrity, and public trust — all while acknowledging most lawyers are honorable. At the launch of a landmark new book on legal ethics — the first in 40 years — he warned that the profession’s reputation is tarnished not by scandals alone, but by a systemic failure to act ethically. He urged lawyers to lead the change, emphasizing that doing the right thing isn’t optional — it’s foundational. The book, rooted in constitutional values, is designed to modernize legal education and professional standards for today’s challenges.
