We have all known one or two people in our lives who light up a room whenever they enter. Their infectious personality and positive attitude to life are impossible to ignore – and admirable in every way. Barnard Legal Secretary, Precious Majwafi is just such a person.
Precious grew up in Pretoria and describes her family life as "all shades of fun!" My parents always cheered and supported me in all my endeavours, the good and the bad. They never discouraged me or imposed their decisions on me without letting me know, and as a result we have been able to create an unbreakable bond of trust," she testifies. "They have influenced me in a very positive way. They taught me to always be happy, never fear what life throws in my way and to always be grateful."
Precious attended the University of Johannesburg and decided to pursue her interest in law. "My passion for history and my fascination about the laws that govern humanity led me to this field. I'm proud of my qualifications." Precious joined Barnard Inc through a temp agency, but quickly worked her way into a legal secretary position.
