Centre for Environmental Rights – Advancing Environmental Rights in South Africa

Concelia Digoro

Candidate Attorney

Concelia Digoro obtained an LLB (with distinction) from the University of Limpopo in 2021. Her passion for environmental law developed when she completed an Environmental and Mining law module as part of her undergraduate degree. She was intrigued by this field of law, and this led her to enroll for an LLM in Development and Management Law (a mini dissertation comprising of research and course work with modules such as Environmental Law, Mining law and Development law) at the University of Limpopo in 2022.

During her studies, she strived to be of service to her fellow students by volunteering as a mentor with the Centre for Academic Excellence at the University of Limpopo in 2020. She was tasked with assisting 1^st year law students to adapt to university life, giving tips to improve their academic performance and act as a support structure for them.

She is excited for the opportunity to get to advocate for environmental rights and social justice, and hopes to contribute towards making the world a cleaner and healthy place to be for both present and future generations. In her spare time, she enjoys reading books, watching movies and doing some outdoor adventurous activities.
