Biography
Terique graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in 2024 with a Bachelor of Laws (with distinction) and currently serves as a law clerk for Justice Kate Savage at the Constitutional Court of South Africa.
During his undergraduate studies, Terique was a tutor at Wits’ School of Law and active member of its moot court team, which he represented at various international competitions. He received the Johannesburg Society of Advocates prize for the Most Distinguished Bachelor of Laws Graduate and won the 2022 African Democracy Essay Award. After graduating, he worked for a year as a candidate attorney at Webber Wentzel. Since 2025, he has served as an editorial assistant for the South African Constitutional Law loose-leaf publication.
Terique hopes to pursue his studies in Law at Oxford. He has a keen interest in structural constitutional law, substantive equality, and horizontality, especially the way South Africa’s Bill of Rights influences the common law governing private relationships. He aims to further his understanding of these concepts through his studies at Oxford.
Terique’s passion for legal theory grew partly from a constitution he drafted for a video game community. Outside of law, he enjoys watching films, following football and cricket, and playing tennis.
