About me
Matondo has been a direct access barrister for a considerable period (over seven years) and as such he is very much accustomed to dealing with client’s from the outset and gets involved, where instructed, in pre-trial aspects of anticipated proceedings. This experience has been honed as a practitioner who is also qualified as an Attorney-at-law in another jurisdiction where he has always dealt with clients directly.
