Catholic Lawyers Guild Zimbabwe

Walking into @RozariaConnects Centre today, my heart going back 20 years ago when we founded Rozaria Memorial Trust. She died on 19 January 2006. My mother Rozaria. 20 years of IMPACT. Rozaria Memorial Trust

She is the very first female Chief Justice of #Zimbabwe. Chief Justice Elizabeth Gwaunza! Ndiri kufara. She is my mentor at many levels, since my early professional days as a young lawyer. I sat on that table as the youngest, when CJ Gwaunza Co founded the Zimbabwe Women Lawyers Association, @ZimWomenLawyers. Fresh from Uni, I was trusted to serve as the founding coordinator. She believed in us the young lawyers. At WLSA, CJ Gwaunza created time to mentor us into legal research on women's rights and the law, as critical to addressing discrimination, and stereotypes embedded in the content and practice of the law.. For many years she led us and engaged advocacy work around key family law related issues affacting women, the Matrimonial Causes Act, inheritance law, at national, regional and global leve. She helped us understand the strength of Venia Magaya as an individual as well as full meaning of the Magaya vs Magaya judgement. When I was appointed to the United Nations, she came all the way to Murewa, to our Magaya village, to simply wish me well in my new role. I paid my courtesy call to her during my recent official mission to Zimbabwe. We discussed the importance on the theme on UNCSW70, and it's theme on Access to Justice. Presence of and the role of women in the Justice system is critical at all level. Celebrating this very very special moment. Makorokoto veduwe! Congratulations Zimbabwe. Congratulations Africa. For our daughters and sons, and for humanity. @GuildCatholic @RozariaConnects

Makorokoto my learned friend Sr Tendai, and wishing the best in both vocations. @ZimWomenLawyers @unwomenzw

Congratulations indeed extending this good work to Midlands. Am inspired by the legal education programme in the parishes by Chita ChemaGweta eChikatorike in Zimbabwe .
