Johannesburg Vacation Programme - Siphamandla's Testimonial

Siphamandla, who participated in our 2025 Johannesburg 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 truly enriching. I took initiative from the start by engaging with case material in Property and Assets Insurance, which helped me build a strong foundation. I strengthened my research and drafting skills through tasks such as analysing a lengthy international judgment and preparing a memorandum on civil litigation privilege.

I also enjoyed collaborating with other students and coordinating our group assignment, which taught me the value of teamwork and clear communication. The Buddy Programme was the most impactful part of the week, as it gave me practical guidance and insight into the firm’s work and culture.

This programme confirmed my passion for the legal profession and affirmed that Clyde & Co is a place where I can grow and contribute meaningfully.”
