Pan African Bar Association of South Africa

Pan African Bar Association of South Africa (PABASA) is a bar association.

It was founded on 31 October 2018 in Johannesburg to address systemic race and gender inequality within the South African legal profession. Its members focus on promoting black and female advocates in areas traditionally dominated by white males, such as commercial, tax, and construction law.

Mass resignation

In July 2025, PABASA experienced internal turmoil, with 45 advocates resigning abruptly and 36 submitting letters, alleging that the organisation had become "politicised" and strayed from its founding principles of fair and merit-based advocacy.
