About Candidate

I am an LLB Graduand from the University of the Western Cape, who is continuously is seeking to develop myself. I am a Master’s Candidate for Mercantile and Labour law at the University of the Western Cape. I have served in numerous leadership positions that allowed me to think critically and, I am still in the process of developing these skills to serve others in the best way possible. The latter is evident where I was selected as Chairperson of the Black Lawyers Association Student Chapter, served as Treasurer General of the Student for Law and Social Justice, and I am currently serving as the President of the Student Representative Council (SRC) at the University of the Western Cape.
I would describe myself as a friend, a brother and a son born in the very heart of rural Eastern Cape. I’m a fond dilettante of history, geopolitics and microeconomics. I pride myself on having a very reliable memory, a lover of learning and a very big heart. My communication skills, vibrant personality and work ethic makes it easier for me to build healthy relationships and to adapt to any environment. I consider myself as an asset and an agent of change who has much more to offer to the legal fraternity.
I hold myself to the high standard of integrity, honesty and reliability. I posses a logical and practical approach to overcome challenges and a drive to see things through to completion. My hard working and teachable nature are fuelled by my hunger for growth and success. I am confident, assertive, articulate and energetic person who is committed to develop myself. I am a disciplined individual who strive for perfection and excellence and posses strong interpersonal and communication (verbal and writing) skills. I am an excellent team player, who works well with different people at different levels.
