"During one of my theoretical courses that I had to attend, a senior counsel made a comment that having a PhD in law is useless. I felt attacked and felt the urge to react, but being a University lecturer and having the majority of my students in the same class, I chose not to.

"I pursued it anyway. Last week, I was admitted as a Legal Practitioner of the High Court of Namibia with a B Juris, LLB (Hons), LLM and LLD in the bag. Lesson: Believe in yourself and do what you want to do!"
