President Mnangagwa told the country that Supreme Court judge Felicia Chatukuta should be a role model after she passed away from cardiac arrest at 63. The president gave her a state-assisted funeral and said her four decades in law showed total commitment to justice and integrity that left a permanent mark on Zimbabwe.
Chatukuta started as a prosecutor after getting her law degree from the University of Zimbabwe back in the 80s and worked her way up through teaching and legal aid before becoming a High Court judge. She spent 16 years there before getting elevated to the Supreme Court bench because of her professional standards and legal knowledge. Mnangagwa said her humility and thorough work ethic should inspire everyone in the country and not just people in the legal field.
