Mustard is part of the team of commissioners as he serves the Highway area. The attorney has been a Highway resident from his early childhood years when his parents emigrated from Scotland to South Africa.

“I studied law at Natal University. I did my articles with the law firm, McClung Le Marchand and Goudge, in Pinetown. I was admitted as an attorney in 1973 and became a partner in the firm, which became known as McClung, Goudge and Mustard. It is now known as McClung Mustard. In 2022, the firm relocated its offices from Pinetown to Kloof,” he said.
