Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Acting Chief Mutasa (67) is among the first 20 students that have enrolled for the Bachelor of Law Degree at Africa University (AU).<\/p>\n

The United Methodist Church-run institution opened its School of Law early this week.<\/p>\n

Chief Mutasa, born Lovemore Mutasa, expects to complete the LLB programme when he turns 72. He said:<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to helping my fellow chiefs in getting a better understanding of the law processes in the country.<\/p>\n

I really want to urge traditional leaders across the country to take up Law. Age is nothing but a number.<\/p>\n

We can do it with determination and willpower. It will help us in our line of work.<\/p>\n

My thinking is that at some point, I will be able to open my own law firm.<\/p>\n

That law firm will help many children to train and enhance their understanding of the law.<\/p>\n

Chief Mutasa has already undertaken training as a presiding officer of community courts with the University of South Africa (UNISA), as well as the University of Zimbabwe Magistrates\u2019 Admission examination.<\/p>\n

He is looking to further his education when he completes his Bachelor of Law Degree at AU. He said:<\/p>\n

I want to attain a Masters\u2019 Degree in Child Rights. I am very passionate about ending child marriages and this is one sure way of enhancing my understanding of the dynamics around child marriages.<\/p>\n

Chief Mutasa has written a book on child marriages entitled \u201cA collection of articles on ending child marriages\u201d.<\/p>\n

In January 2018, Chief Murinye, born Ephias Munodawafa, obtained a Bachelor of Law Degree from the University of Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

He has since been registered with the Law Society of Zimbabwe as a legal practitioner.<\/p>\n
