DURBAN Metro Policeman, Khanyisani Mthembu graduated with a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) recently.
Mthembu, who teaches at the Durban Metro Police Academy, said his passion for law began while he was at high school. “I was not able to pursue my dream because my parents did not have the funds for university. Today I am proof that a dream delayed is not a dream denied.”
He said the qualification has provided him with knowledge and insight into the law profession.

“It enables me to ensure that at all times my duties are executed within the confines of the law. Since I teach law, I can now confidently answer the students’ questions,” he added.
Mthembu said his greatest wish is to inspire his colleagues and encourage them to start studying to dispel the myth that policemen and women are not well educated.
