Fezekile Makeleni

I am Fezekile Makeleni, I have recently completed my postgraduate degree (Masters in Banking Law) from the University of Johannesburg. I recently completed my Bachelor of Laws degree at University of Johannesburg in December 2022. I'm currently a legal intern at White & Case, under administration by NPI Governance Consulting. I am in dire need of exposure to practical side of the Law and to achieve my career goals. I'm in very much need of activating my legal career.

I am a friendly, articulate and focused person who is used to working under pressure and managing intense workload. I am a very well-rounded applicant as opposed to purely academic one. I possess a genuine interest and understanding of both public and private law. I am very keen to obtain placement in your organization and I believe, I can be an excellent addition in your team. I have been actively involved in extracurricular activities, for example student organizations which have thought me valuable skills such as teamwork, time management etc. 
I am studying law because I want to acquire skills and knowledge to enact a real impact in specialized communities that lack justice and to ensure that these communities does get the justice they require, and make a very fruitful contribution to the society. I want to provide advocacy for the impoverished or disadvantaged citizen, advocating for human equal rights especially those of women and children to reclaim their role in the society, to transit the portrayed mind picture that most citizens have for women, to solve legal discrepancies, to uphold the Constitution and ascertain that justice is done and suffices.

I'm a legal intern at White & Case.
