About Zandri

"I have been working as a Compliance Manager and a Credit Portfolio Manager for one year now.

I am currently pursuing my LLB degree and have a particular interest in credit and banking law, debt recovery, and litigation.  My work experience has allowed me to combine my legal studies with practical exposure to credit management, collections, and compliance. 

I am interested in developing my legal knowledge further and building a career that allows me to apply the law to real-world situations."

 

On enrolling at the Gawie le Roux Institute of Law

"I chose Gawie le Roux because I wanted to expand my practical legal knowledge and gain a better understanding of how the law is applied in a professional environment.  I believe that continuous learning is important, especially in a field where legislation, procedures, and professional responsibilities play such an important role.

I appreciated the opportunity to learn from someone with knowledge of debt collection.  A good lecturer makes complex legal principles easier to understand and helps students connect theory with practical situations.  I found this particularly valuable because I want to continue developing my legal knowledge and apply it in my professional career."

 

On facing challenges

"Balancing work responsibilities with my legal studies and additional training can be challenging at times.  Managing different responsibilities requires discipline, good time management, and a willingness to keep learning.

I approached these challenges by staying organised, making time for the course, and focusing on how the knowledge I gained could be applied in practice, which started making things more manageable over time."

 

Zandri's practical tips

"My advice would be to participate actively, take notes, and relate the course material to situations you encounter in your own work.  Do not simply focus on completing the course; take the time to understand the principles and how they can be applied in practice."

 

Key takeaways

  1. "A stronger understanding of the law in practice.  The course helped me develop my understanding of the relevant legal principles and their practical application.
  2. The importance of following the correct legal procedures.  In credit management and debt recovery, it is essential to understand the applicable legal requirements and follow the correct processes when dealing with matters.
  3. The value of continuous professional development.  The course reinforced the importance of continually expanding my knowledge, improving my skills, and staying informed so that I can grow both professionally and academically."
