Our Students Have Secured Opportunities With Some of These Law Firms
HEY, I'M SIVU
I didn’t start Sivuyile Mentorship Academy because I struggled to find opportunities; I started it because I saw how many brilliant law students were being overlooked, simply because they didn’t know how to position themselves or access the right information.
What began with just a few students at the University of the Free State has grown into a nationwide movement. Today, SMA supports law students and graduates across South Africa, helping them secure vacation work, articles of clerkship, and real career opportunities at top law firms.
I’m passionate about showing students that they don’t have to figure this journey out alone and that with the right guidance, strategy, and support, they can go further than they ever imagined.

"Loved everything so far"

"Highly recommend this"
"I began searching for articles in 2024. Although I was getting interviews, they never progressed beyond that stage. The program was incredibly helpful; it gave me the tools I needed to become more marketable. The CV writing workshops showed me just how much I had been underselling myself. If you're thinking of signing up; do it! It's a worthwhile program.
