Dear Mphela and Mphela & Associates Attorneys
I would like to sincerely express my gratitude for the invitation to the 40th Anniversary celebration of Mphela & Associates Attorneys held on 5 September 2026.
What a remarkable and memorable occasion it was! I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and, truthfully, I am still recovering from the excitement, joy and inspiration of the day.
The celebration was not only a commemoration of 40 years of excellence, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience, dedication and impact that can be achieved through vision, hard work and unwavering commitment to the legal profession.
I was particularly moved by the powerful and emotional messages delivered in honour of Mr Maditsi Mike Mphela. The appreciation, respect and affection expressed for his contribution and legacy were truly touching and inspiring.
Congratulations once again to Mr Mphela and the entire Mphela & Associates Attorneys team on this remarkable milestone. May the next 40 years bring even greater success, growth and continued excellence.
Thank you once again for allowing me to be part of such a special and historic occasion. It was truly an honour and a privilege.
Kind Regards

Dear Mr and Mrs Mphela, Partner (Mr Matlala and his partner), Associates, and Staff of Mphela & Associates,
Thank you sincerely for inviting us to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mphela & Associates.
It is a real privilege to share in such an important milestone with you. Forty years is an extraordinary achievement in this dynamic challenging environment. It speaks not only to the firm’s professional excellence and commitment to service, but also to the strong relationships, trust, and goodwill that Mphela & Associates has built over the years.
We would like to acknowledge the partners, associates, and staff whose hard work, loyalty, and dedication have helped to sustain and strengthen the firm throughout its journey. Your collective contribution has played an important role in making Mphela & Associates the respected firm it is today.
Most importantly, we extend heartfelt appreciation to Mr and Mrs Mphela. Your vision, leadership, support, and unwavering commitment built the firm’s foundation and created a lasting legacy of opportunity, friendship, guidance, and inspiration over the past four decades.
It was especially meaningful to reflect on how far the firm has come. I recently showed some of our newer staff members the humble beginnings at Eldoland Complex, and they could hardly believe the remarkable growth and progress that has taken place since then. That journey is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through vision, perseverance, resilience, and dedication.
Thank you once again for allowing us to be part of this very special celebration and also getting the opportunity to see some of the people you went to school with. We warmly congratulate Mphela & Associates on four decades of meaningful achievement and wish the firm continued growth, success, and prosperity in the years ahead.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Moloko & Mahlabasebata Mashigo

Message of support on the 40th anniversary of Mphela and Associates
For forty years, Mphela and Associates has been more than just a law practice. It has been a beacon of hope and a pillar of justice for the communities of Groblersdal, Limpopo and Gauteng.
In many of our communities, justice can feel distant and inaccessible. Mphela and Associates has worked tirelessly to bridge that gap. You have opened your doors to the vulnerable, given a voice to the voiceless, and ensured that access to justice is not a privilege for a few, but a right for all. For this noble and selfless service to humanity, we salute you, Maditsi morwa Mphela.
Beyond the distinguished lawyer, Maditsi is a human being full of humility, deep understanding and love for people. A true servant of the people whose compassion reaches far beyond the courtroom. To this, even the Judge President Ledwaba and other grey hairs here, can attest.
We also celebrate your visionary role in shaping the future of our legal profession. You have not only practiced law, you have nurtured it. By opening doors of opportunity, mentoring and supporting young legal practitioners, you have built a legacy that will outlive us all. Many legal minds who today stand with confidence in our courts owe their foundation to your guidance and generosity.
Forty years of excellence is no small achievement. It is a powerful story of resilience, professionalism, integrity and profound love for the people you serve.
I am personally happy to have walked a bit of that road with you and consider myself truly blessed to have witnessed your journey of service and excellence.
On this gathering to celebrate and mark this remarkable milestone, we do so with deep appreciation for what you have done, pride in what you are doing, and great anticipation for what you will continue to do.
May the next forty years bring even greater success, growth and lasting impact. Congratulations on this well-deserved celebration.
