A man shared a journey of becoming a lawyer in South Africa.
@andilethebabylawyer took to his TikTok account to share a video detailing the process of becoming a lawyer in Mzansi.
According to the video, someone who wants to be a lawyer has to study for a Bachelor of Law (LLB), which takes four years maximum.
Then, after that, do articles for two years. Practical legal training for four to six months. Pass four board exams. Do community service and then apply to be admitted to the High Court.
The TikTokker said the process could be different, depending on the route one takes. He also revealed that he is a month away from completing this process.
"Can’t believe I am one month away from meeting all these requirements. PS: This may differ depending on the route you take."

A woman fulfills her dream of becoming a lawyer
In another story, Briefly News reported about a woman who celebrated being an admitted lawyer after being inspired to become one in Grade 11.
Yvonne Princess Shabangu is not just a talented lawyer, she is also highly educated, holding a Master of Laws from the University of Johannesburg.
The perseverant woman has overcome so much! From an accident that almost led to her dropping out, to not attending any of her graduations. The journey has been long and Yvonne deserves all the bells and whistles.
