Genevieve Zongolo
About Candidate
I, Genevieve Zongolo, a 31-year-old female student at the University of South Africa (UNISA), currently in my final year of the LLB Degree programme.
As the first-generation person in my entire family to study at a university, I have faced a series of hurdles and continue to, and I have not given up as I am determined to become the first professional in the family.
I’m motivated to pursue a career in law in the Republic with integrity, good work ethics, and the potential to significantly impact South Africa’s legal system. As a result, taking part in your firm’s articles plan will enable me to develop the skills and disciplines I need to become the expert I aspire to be.
I am confident in my ability to take on any challenge, start something and complete it and my ability to persevere is reflected in my education, having come from a disadvantaged background, challenging myself to be the first in my family to study at a tertiary institution, with all the hurdles and still pass well with a few distinctions.
I hope that my application would be considered as it would be of great assistance to me should this application be successful.
Yours Sincerely
Genevieve Zongolo
