Cape Town Vacation Programme - Olwethu's Testimonial

Olwethu, who participated in our 2025 Cape Town Vacation Programme and will return as a Candidate Attorney in 2026, shares his experience with you. 

“My experience in the Clyde & Co Vacation Programme was incredibly rewarding. I stepped out of my comfort zone, built meaningful connections, and fully immersed myself in every activity. I enjoyed collaborating with other students during our group project and found it fulfilling to support my peers and learn from them.

The practice group talks and associate breakfast gave me valuable insight into different areas of law and the firm’s culture. Working closely with my buddy also helped me grow through personalised guidance and feedback.

This programme strengthened my confidence, sharpened my communication and research skills, and highlighted the importance of asking questions and managing my time effectively. It confirmed my passion for the legal profession and my excitement to continue developing as a future Candidate Attorney.”
