Sibonelo Ndlovu

Dear NdV Friends, Clients and Colleagues of Sibonelo Ndlovu

It is with profound sadness that we inform you of the untimely passing of our Managing Partner, Sibonelo Ndlovu, on 3 July 2025.

Sibonelo was a remarkable leader, colleague and legal practitioner whose integrity and commitment shaped the ethos of our firm. His loss is deeply felt, not only by his family, but by the broader legal community.

We have been overwhelmed by the love and support we have received from our fellow colleagues, which is a testament to how much he was loved and respected.

We will be reaching out to clients over the next few days, and ask that you kindly bear with us while we navigate this difficult period.

Sincerely

Samantha de Villiers and the NdV Team
