How do I gain entry to Sunday Times, Mail&Guardian and Independant on Sunday as an Intern

I am finishing my Journalism diploma in 2009 July. I freelance for Isolezwe newspaper in Durbs, write feature articles, do television doccies and have, optionally, a legal background. So I think I am intelligent, focused, deligent and GOOD IN WHAT I DO. I know my story! Just how do I crack into Sunday Times, Mail&Guardian, City Press or Independant on Sunday as an intern? or Do I need to be EDITORIALLY connected? What do you say...?
