Recently this has taken the form of talks by some very accomplished legal minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marius Stander has been a State Prosecutor for over 28 years. His list of successful prosecutions reads like the South African who\u2019s who of high-profile cases, resulting in getting many hoodlums, murderers and swindlers locked up for very long stretches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStander\u2019s talk was a fascinating insight into the work of a State Advocate, highlighting how his niche market is solving cold cases, guiding police investigations to eventual prosecution,\u201d said Alan Reynolds, president of The Rotary Club of Uitenhage South. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDuring the evening it just wasn\u2019t possible for to Stander to tell everything, so the members went away with his awe-inspiring potted CV which is almost a book in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week it was the turn of Tasneem Fredericks. She is a social justice and transformation activist, and a person with a list of achievements which demonstrate the massive successes of those who quietly walk amongst us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Tasneem\u2019s talk wasn\u2019t about those achievements or her international legal activism, it was about her passion. She is deeply involved in promoting female hygiene for teenage schoolgirls and recently trained for, and took part in, a trek to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith guest speakers like this, and many others the members of the club are not only enthralled but motivated to go jointly forward and achieve the Rotary motto of \u2018Service above Self\u2019,\u201d said Reynolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_45ac3953\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img
