With a distinguished legal career, notable highlights include serving as the Director of the University of the Orange Free State Legal Aid Clinic and later establishing and successfully running her own trial practice with extensive expertise in both civil and criminal litigation.
Advocate Seton, aside from her accomplished legal background, brings to the table a breadth of experience in local governance. She has served as the Speaker of the Knysna Council, where she has developed a well-versed understanding of municipal governance.
Advocate Seton’s background provides our team with critical insights into local governance, particularly how we are to address severe governance failures across municipalities in South Africa, like that of Knysna, which has all but collapsed.
