Studied law in South Africa, practising in London - My experience

Thinking of working in London? This video will answer all your questions about the pros, cons and culture shock you will experience working in London!

[@AW-ji7no]

This was interesting. I’m an American who moved to South Africa and I find that there’s a major drinking culture here. I also don’t drink so I feel your pain.

[@NobueKhumalo]

Yes South Africa has a pretty serious drinking culture too!

This was so informative! I appreciate you sharing your experiences and look forward to more content.

[@thenjiwetshuma3230]

Thank you so much for the information Nobue

[@NobueKhumalo]

My pleasure!

[@YouTuber11111]

Your videos are so informative Nobue, please link the videos you mentioned in the beginning. 🙏🏾

[@sherrolmtshamba5545]

This was insightful,i must say you're such a warm person

[@NobueKhumalo]

Aww thank you!

[@beingbett]

I loved hearing your experience. I’m planning on moving over in May and this was so insightful 🤍

[@NobueKhumalo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sweet4nice2003]

Thank you for the great insights Nobue these are some of the things little do people get to know if they don't research and it's good that u come up and help those fellow pips as well. Migration is so much these days and it seems far better for someone coming over who already has employment than going to look for it coz I can imagine the expenses u talk about can be a challenge without that support right?

[@NobueKhumalo]

Yes. You will generally not be able to get a work visa and move to the UK without a job offer already.

Great video 😊😊 Could you please please do a video on highly beneficial short courses an aupair/nanny/babysitter could do in pursuit of a career path for after the whole childcare thing

[@NobueKhumalo]

Hie there. I honestly have no idea about that at all so I unfortunately can’t help with that. Sorry ❤️

[@yandiimlotshwa4476]

A course in early childhood education (ECD). From there you can open your own creche /work as a grade R teacher and general care taker for children & tolders. Hope this helps

[@tafadzwanhunzwi1267]

Hello Nobue. Thank you for good work. I would like to ask which practice tests for aspiring trainee solicitors would you recommend?

[@NobueKhumalo]

Hie there. Any psychometric tests e.g. Watson Glaser

[@TholokuhleM]

Great video as always...Nobue you once promised to do a video on different jobs/carreers. Is it still on the list? Im particularly interested in the accounting field

[@NobueKhumalo]

I should stop promising 😂. I’m not sure hey. What exactly do you want to know?

[@TholokuhleM]

@@NobueKhumalo lol..okay say maybe for someone who has an ACCA qualification and wishes to work in UK/London, would you know how they can go about it.what are the salary ranges etc

[@NobueKhumalo]

@@TholokuhleM I’ve only heard of and know CAs moving here, haven’t heard of anyone with ACCA unfortunately so I would be lying to you. But you can do some research online

[@TholokuhleM]

@@NobueKhumalo ohh alright. Thank you

[@stellaNassali-vx8mm]

I want the link please

[@omphilemolefi3379]

It's the Fanta for me 😂😂

[@neosechoaro9614]

Hi Nobue, I am planning to move to London next year around April. I have an LLB Degree from Wits. Please advise how I could go about getting a training contract and if I need to secure it before I immigrate

[@NobueKhumalo]

Hi Neo. You do need a training contract before you move. Unfortunately it’s really difficult to get one. I only know Linklaters which offers training contracts to students out of the UK. Other than that it’s nearly impossible I’m afraid

[@neosechoaro9614]

@@NobueKhumalo thank you so much for your input and great insight. I guess I am going to have to defer my immigration plans until I am admitted as an Attorney. I do not want to disadvantage myself and struggle to secure employment once I have moved to the UK.

[@zetzeeful]

​@neosechoaro9614 as a fellow wits LLB graduate...rather get admitted and apply at an international firm like Nortonrose to make your overseas journey easier.

[@tarirohove8530]

Hy Nobue ,I wanted to ask if is it a wise idea to study law at UNISA and I want know if will I be able to practice in other countries.If so may you please explain the process for me ,I am also Zimbabwean and have been accepted to study LLB at UNISA

[@athenkosimlindazwe]

Hey Nobue, thank you for the video, you spoke about great career opportunities What are the odds of a Unisa Bcom Law graduate finding a good job there?

[@NobueKhumalo]

Hi there. Quite low to be honest. Get an LLB , articles and a few years of experience then it’ll get better. All the best!

[@athenkosimlindazwe]

@@NobueKhumalo thank you, may I please ask another question... What if one is an Adv, how easy is it to transition from Adv to Barrister?

[@NobueKhumalo]

@@athenkosimlindazwe hit there, I honestly have no idea at all unfortunately

[@thegrobblers8393]

Hi there What is the chances of LLB with articles but not admitted. Would like to do company services.

[@NobueKhumalo]

@@thegrobblers8393 very slim to be honest. being admitted and a few years of post-admission experience are your best bet

[@zetzeeful]

Im interested in the conversion of your LLB degree....what do you need to do

[@NobueKhumalo]

You’ll need to write the SQE

[@OnlyHustlersClub]

did you study at a university in south africa or uk ?

[@NobueKhumalo]

Both! Did my LLB in South Africa then further studies in UK

[@malligue]

Can you still save enough while living in london? Is it still worth it to live there while having to work this much? Im looking to move to another country in 2026.

[@NobueKhumalo]

Yes you can. But that all depends on your job and income. It’s easier for some more than others

[@Mr.Solution199]

You look beautiful for sure.....😊 Hope you are not married 😅? Anyway Good content 👌

[@NobueKhumalo]

Very married! Thank you

[@thobekandlovu763]

If I may ask….did you study international law?

[@NobueKhumalo]

Hi there, I did two modules called Private International Law and Private International Law as part of my LLB

[@MindMystics3]

Hey 👋 I wanna know if 22 000 pounds to live alone in Brixton

[@MindMystics3]

Can I also afford rent with that type of salary

[@NobueKhumalo]

I have no idea honestly. But probably. There’s something for everyone

[@TholokuhleM]

Lol pho thina abanye who are uptight and get offended easily siyahlala sikhubekile lol🤣..ngabo "F"

[@NobueKhumalo]

Lol well it won’t be directed at a person. Usually at a situation 😂 like “where the F* is the tea” lol

[@TholokuhleM]

@@NobueKhumalo 🤣🤣🤣 yeah neh

[@siyabonganxumalo4574]

But you are actually from Zimbabwe to UK. Why don't you guys like to own your country?

[@NobueKhumalo]

I studied law in South Africa. That is the context of that video. If you’ve watched my other videos you would know I always clarify that I’m Zimbabwean and studied Uni in South Africa. Love and light to you!🌻

[@clarence493]

Zimbabweans😂😂😂😂 they are ashamed
