A fun laidback Podcast hosted by Journalist Yolisa Mkele (the Layman) and Family Law Expert Jennifer Stoler (the Lawyer). The pair translates South African legalese into plain English. The goal is simple: Educate, Empower, Uplift and Entertain. There will be none of that highfalutin legal speak here, just two friends (and sometimes guest speakers) talking about the law, its workings and giving people the tools to protect themselves. Buckle up – it is going to be a ride
