    @@NobueKhumalo l agree. It would also open many spots for locals who might otherwise not get the chance, assuming there are lots of foreigners on the courses. Hopefully this is not a moneymaking scheme. At least with Medunasa etc they tell you from the beginning that only certain foreigners can apply. At least that's what my friend was told when he tried his luck.

It’s really competitive though, the take 5 per year from all of Africa so you need to really stand out academically. All the best!

    Hi Nobue. Sorry it's me again with them questions. I am getting confusing information. So I am set to qualify as an attorney in South Africa. I have secured Masters in the UK from 2023 to 2024. I plan to be a Solicitor in the coming years. I fully understand that I need to complete the SQE's to qualify as a Solicitor. Do I also need to do the Post Graduate Diploma in Law to convert my South African LLB into a qualifying Law degree in the UK? I was thinking that the SQE's will suffice. Kindly advise.
