All roads led to teaching, even the ones Prof Jack Mwimali took to escape it. The secretary and CEO of the Council of Legal Education is the finest product of teachers, the best student of his mother and father. Family genes are hard to shake off, he has learned.
He was a naughty boy growing up, breaking his hand two or three times in rugby, football and WrestleMania. He had hoped the gene had missed his children, skipped a generation, but woe unto him. “In fact,” he says, “in many cases, when I am mad and want to discipline my children, I see my younger self in them.” He is a funny guy, that Mwimali.
