vlog 67. Day In The Life of an Advocate: Simple Day in Chambers + What's In My Bag | Loyiso Makapela
Happy Women's Day! I was going to upload this on Sunday, but I thought to surprise my lovely ladies and drop a vlog today. #Advocate #dayinmylife #southafricanyoutuber
I hope you enjoy this vlog, it was a simple and mundane day in chambers for me. I feel it is important to show you guys these mundane days as well, not all these exciting or frantic days without showing the normal days too (if there is such a thing as normal in this job, LOL!!!)
I also just wanted us all to take a moment to reflect on what it means to be a woman in modern day South Africa, and how much of that is owed to the brave women who marched to the Union Buildings on this day all those decades ago: what did those women dream for their lives? what goals did they wish they could achieve? who did they envision their highest selves as being? Think about how much you would have had to give up or live without if you were a woman in those times, and then express all the gratitude you can that you live in this time. Please also take time to say thank you to them, and make a solemn vow to live your life (be that in your personal, spiritual or professional life) in honour of their lives.
I am so deeply honoured to have this incredible community of women who are as driven, intelligent, creative, full of joy, cultured and free-spirited as I have amongst the subscribers of my TH-cam channel.
You guys inspire me to be better and do better each day, and I am grateful for every single one of you. Really I am.
See you soon,
Loyiso

My 60th vlog!! I can't think of a more apt vlog to upload than one of me moving offices and starting afresh for the first time in 5 years.

All work and no play makes Jack (or Loyiso) and dull boy (or girl). This is certainly true for most of us in our demanding fields of work. We get so consumed by all the stressors and day to day deadlines, meetings, deliverables, invoices and everything in between, that we forget (or in certain instances, refuse) to let our hair down and live a little. And by that I do not mean the mere consumpt...

There was also joy, happiness, peace, calm, acceptance, surrender, love and hope. It felt as though every day was getting worse and simultaneously getting better. I failed more times than I succeeded. A whirlwind of a year is putting it mildly. ...

I recently came across this channel and I'm loving it. As a legal mind myself, your research strategy is impeccable. You also go all out in service delivery. Well done.
Fave, it’s been 13days? Is court keeping you away?
I love how you serve yourself.
I'm a fan of yours, the Senzo meyiwa's conduct put to shame black lawyers whereas you ma'am at the ball hearing you inspired this 43year old to continue to pursue his studies in law. Sheer Black excellence.(Out of interest; how are you able to do an LLD whilst practising!? I'd like to hear that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just subscribed and I’m inspired. I’m currently in my second year LLB and coming across your channel made me the happiest!🥹
Just couldn't help but search for you my lady after seeing you in court yesterday. You rock darling and hey you were born for a moment like this. Your confidence nono does it for me. Fly sweetheart and fly high, uyimbokodo my love. I sooo love you mncwaaaah 😘😍🥰❤❣
Greetings Advocate. I'm so inspired as I just saw you on TV doing your submissions in court and consulting Cholota.👌. I have been following the case as its interesting, i will do so more as you are involved as her legal team. I was watching when you share a laughter with your co-counsil after addressing the media. Im inspired as a student and as i have been following you.
Im so glad Alungile, thank you so much🙏🏾✨

Thanks so much for such an awesome vlog as always, Adv. May I ask that you kindly film a vlog about your specialty? I aspire to join the bar, but I don't know what to specialize in yet. Please explain how you decided what to specialize in, which challenges you encountered along the way, what issues you have to address as part of your scope of work, etc... thanks so much! I'm looking forward to your next vlog.

Morning Amo!!!!✨🌸
Hi Loyiso. I Absolutely love your content. I'm in the legal profession myself- still very junior-and I just wanted to find out what your contact details are for the purposes of queries and briefs?
Litigating interesting matters that I wish to argue in future. Busy with commercial stuff for now I guess. Anyway all the days were a blast on my side. Keep the CONTENT coming gurl!
Thanks Iris!
I'm at Mamelodi, Pretoria and I'm currently on my third-year Diploma in Law. I'm definitely viewing, liking and subscribing. Hope to meet up you one day.
On your vision board, what's your future plan between Judge and SC?
First prize for me, is Professorship. Anything beyond that will be a bonus
Nothing makes me happy like your uploads 🥹🥹🥹
Aaaah Amo! Thank you!!🤗
To remove waterproof mascara try using cleansing balms/oil/milk they are very gently in melting makeup. Aldo used to sell very nice court. Shoes,not sure if they have now . I agree with using what we have instead of buying all the time ❤. Absolutely love the way you still enjoy what you have even though your work life is so hectic,I mean in this video you changed bags daily 🥰🥰. 🌹🌷
Thanks sis, I’ve actually had my eye on a cleansing oil type product from Amanda duPont’s range, didn’t know it was also good for removing makeup. Will def try this!
Good to see you advocate ❤ missed your videos so much 😭
Thanks Ongz!!!✨🧡
I find that Rimmel anything is fantastic! even their nail polish 💯
Now I need to try the nailpolish!
I’ve missed you soooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
Aaaaah thank you!! I’ve definitely missed you guys too
Friday is my favorite one. Thank you Adv for doing more of the office vlogs. How about to make sit-downs and explain the process but not in an intensive way, but you can if you don't mind Advo. As you did on another vlog where you gave us different types of studying methods. That was a bit intensive and fruitful sit-down. Having one of those ones once in a month or in 2 months depending on your busy schedule Adv. We will really appreciate that as students. Sometimes share about other topics or modules under Advocacy when you were a pupil. This is just my suggestions Adv. Thank you so much.
Thanks Alungile, but which process particularly? Drafting?
We missed you! Loved all the outfits for the week ❤
Thanks TK!!❤️✨
Wednesday was my favourite - a lot of self-care and meditation! Thanks for a great vlog 😀
Glad you enjoyed it Sinegugu! Wednesday was my favourite day too actually, whenever I pair my morning walk with a guided meditation my day is just so seamless (mentally)
I liked all your outfits, just perfect for winter 🌸👌
Thanks Thandeka!!
