A new legal association has been established, known as the Pan African Association of SA (Pabasa). With 70 members, the association will oppose the dominant white law association.

The norm will be black appointments and women advocates, as they are tired of racism in law.
Lawyers point out that Pabasa will help black advocates and women advocates to overcome “gaps” in knowledge and experience.
The impression is that Pabasa, by implication, finds that black advocates have a lack of ability, even in many cases after 30 years of experience.
