Ms Mente began her professional career as a bodyguard to the then mayor of Cape Town. She was a "barefoot lawyer" in the township of Khayelitsha and assists workers who have had their rights abused in different ways in the work place. Ms Mente was one of 15 volunteers who worked with the advisory office Labour Community Advice Media and Education Centre (LAMEC) in Khayelitsha. The organisation is a part of World Workers Media Production and has educated union activists in media production since 1997.
