7.6. Phatshoane Henney Group

Bursary Programme
To assist member firms to attract and retain quality black candidates to firms
and in particular regional firms that struggle to attract candidates, the Group
launched the Phatshoane Henney Group bursary programme for candidate
attorneys in partnership with the Phatshoane Henney Foundation, the Group’s
non-profit charitable trust, with its aim to award bursaries to black candidate
attorneys that have been selected to article at Group firms, with priority in
bursary allocation going to regional firm candidates.

With over R550,000 in bursaries already awarded to candidate attorneys
serving articles at Group firms since 2015, this programme also demonstrates
the Group commitment to helping firms attract talent, particularly to firms
located away from the main recruitment centres.
