New Award<br />

For many years the legal side of debt review<br />

has not been recognised during the Awards<br />

even though the legal fraternity (for both<br />

consumers and credit providers) are hard at<br />

work daily handling debt review matters.<br />

This year Mr Benay Sager of the National<br />

Debt Counsellors Association and Head of<br />

DebtBusters handed out two certificates of<br />

recognition. The first went to DL Attorneys<br />

(who represent Debt Counsellors and<br />

consumers) and the second to Kemp &<br />

Associates who represent credit providers. It<br />

is hoped that one day there may be Awards in<br />

this new category.<br />

In a somewhat emotional speech Mr Sager<br />

then announced a new Award. The Nousheen<br />

Pore Award. Nousheen was a well known<br />

attorney who was vibrant and a real mentor<br />

to many in the industry and the Award in her<br />

name is aimed at encouraging others to do<br />

the same. Decided by an industry expert panel<br />

the very first Nousheen Pore Award went to<br />

Cornel van Heerden of VHT Attorneys.
