LLB graduand wins coveted Judge Bernard Ngoepe award

Besty Nchabeleng, recipient of the Judge Bernard Ngoepe top student award.

Established by the society of Advocates Pretoria Bar of South Africa in 2011. the Judge Bernard Ngoepe award annually recognises South Africa’s final-year law top students who demonstrate academic excellence.

The University of Limpopo (UL)’s LLB graduand Besty Nchabeleng, says receiving the award was an honour and a great milestone in her law career that is about to flourish after emerging as a top student for the 2019 academic year.

“I feel honoured to have received the award, I am proud. Being the hard worker I am, I knew I would top my fellow students but I didn’t think my performance would grab the attention of the Bar, the feeling is overwhelming”, she revels.

Nchabeleng bested other best-performing law students around the country to claim the prize after being nominated by the School of Law at UL. The award also aims to encourage law graduates to enter the legal profession.

She has demonstrated determination and hard work since her first year in 2016 as she kept obtaining high grades. She will be graduating cum laude this year when the university will be holding it’s virtual graduations on 6 July 2020.

The Mpumalanga-born says the law fraternity chose her because coming from a background where her mother was a teacher, she could have easily been influenced to follow suit to study accounting, “but learning about the reputable LLB program and prominent figures in the field who studied at UL inspired me”.

Although adjusting was a bit difficult during the first semester of her first year, having to grasp overwhelming legal jargon, Nchabeleng says she used mentorship programs ans study groups , as well as other support organisations to cope. I joined a non-profit organisation formed by a fellow student – Philip Dhlamini (69), called Advocate Zondeka Makondo African Law Project. The project assists community members in Mankweng wit legal advice, drafts legal documents ans engages clients as part of linking theory to practice”, she reckons.

She says working with the community brought fulfillment in her life. “I love helping people and this qualification places me at the center of my aspirations”, she adds, stating that she is currently under pupillage at the Pretoria Bar.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has brought a bombshell to my immediate dream because I looked forward to shining in the graduation hall to make my parents proud when collecting my degree”, says Nchabeleng who aspires to join a leading law firm and practice as an advocate towards fulfilling her dream to work with some of South Africa’s best legal minds such as Advocate Tembeka Ngcukaitobi SC.

Judge Bernard Ngoepe is an alumnus of the University of Limpopo and has played a crucial role in shaping the modern South Africa.

    issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from that, great website!

    large amount of work? I am completely new to running a blog however I

    new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

  19. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

    I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites
    for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard good things about blogengine.net.
    Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  20. Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?

    Thanks a lot!

  21. I don’t know whether it’s just me or if perhaps
    everybody else experiencing problems with your site. It appears
    as though some of the written text in your posts are
    running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening
    to them as well? This could be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen before.
    Kudos
