LSSA shocked by sudden death of attorney

The Law Society (LSSA) says it ‘is shocked and saddened’ by the death of King Williams Town attorney and legal education instructor, Gordon Pope, at the age of 53. It notes Pope's passion was always the legal profession and from the start he was involved with the Cape Law Society and the King Williams Town Attorney's Association. He was serving as a member of the newly-formed Legal Practice Council. 'As we acknowledge Gordon's contribution to the profession, we also acknowledge the immense loss to his firm, clients, and mostly to his family. We extend the condolences of the attorneys' profession to his wife Helen Pope, and his children Emma and Jack,' says LSSA President, Mvuzo Notyesi.
