“I gained an interest in the communications industry a long time ago. I have been a public speaker all my life. I enjoy working with projects and the community. I am passionate about the SAPS and I felt my legal background will benefit the community and the SAPS,” said Capt Mabizela.
“I started serving my article of clerkship with the Legal Aid board in Lichtenburg Justice Centre, North West and later with Benoni Justice Centre in Ekurhuleni. I also worked at Modiga Attorneys and later practised on my own up until I received a calling to join the SAPS. I starting working at the Jabulani SAPS in 2012. I was later transferred to the Gauteng Provincial office,” said Capt Mabizela.
Capt Mabizela is also the chairperson for the Yeoville SAPS Men for Change executive committee.
