Tanya Calitz

Lawyer. Author. Visionary.

Hi, nice to meet you

I’m a South African qualified attorney and hold an LLB (summa cum laude) from the University of the Free State, South Africa and an LLM in Human Rights (with merit) from the University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

My journey began as a law researcher at the Constitutional Court of South Africa, appointed by former Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke, and has since included work at top-tier law firms, the South African Human Rights Commission, and more recently, national government, where I have made contributions to law reform before Parliament and the United Nations.

Beyond law, I find happiness in small everyday joys: writing poetry, exercise, meaningful conversations, time in nature, and the beauty of flowers in full bloom.
