The only instance where I refer to myself as Adv. is on my invoice. Other than that, call me by name.

As an Advocate just call me Mbali. Advocate is only a professional title - it’s not a name! I don’t go around calling my doctor friends Dr.

Yes, "Advocate" (often abbreviated as "Adv.") is a professional title used in South Africa for a legal practitioner who specializes in court litigation, much like a barrister in other countries

same as medical practitioners going around calling themselves "Doctor" outside of work.. your qualification is a NQF level 9 goddammit not Level 10!. you're mister and you're only a doctor by profession not by title. you dont hear Pilots going around calling themselves pilot So and so outside of their work

At what age are they gona seperate Work life and Home life. Like at home be a real dad/mom/ uncle/ aunt etc like any down to earth person. These titles are affect home events like crazy. Yet CEOs/CFOs/Chairmans/ladies dont go around throwing titles whilevoff duty.
