Lovemore NDOU

Lovemore was born during the apartheid era in the shantytown of Nancefield, on the outskirts of Musina, formerly known as Messina, in South Africa. As a child growing up in South Africa, Lovemore experienced poverty and the injustices of the apartheid system, witnessed atrocities committed against his family and community, was a victim of police brutality and saw his best friend gunned down in a street protest. Yet, against all odds, he succeeded and rose through the ranks to become a boxing world champion and then a successful lawyer, while making Australia his home. Lovemore is a former boxing world champion, an Australian Boxing Hall of Fame inductee, the Principal Solicitor at Lovemore Lawyers specialising in the areas of Family Law, Criminal Law and Human Rights Law. He is an academic with seven university degrees to his name, ranging from Law, Communication, Human Rights, Policy, International Law and Politics. He is also an author and a highly trained Infantry Soldier who served as a reservist in the Australian Defence Force. He also served on the Law Advisory Committee at the University of Wollongong and is a political activist who provides pro-bono services to indigenous people in Australia. Lovemore's extraordinary courage and dedication took root during a difficult time in his homeland and flourished during his career as a globe-trotting world boxing champion. They have bloomed with extraordinary success in his academic and professional life. Lovemore's unbreakable spirit has carried him from poverty in South Africa to success as a prominent lawyer in Australia and his story is one of inspiration, unshakeable hope and triumph. A great motivational speaker who always engages with his audience through passion and authenticity.
