I celebrate with our fathers today, those whose strength, enduring sacrifice, and steady guidance anchor our families and shape our societies.
Fathers are what they’re often described to be: protectors, providers, disciplinarians, mentors, and, above all, pillars of love and leadership.
In a world that demands resilience and responsibility, they often bear the weight of expectations silently, making countless sacrifices to ensure our children and communities thrive.
To all fathers in the legal profession and beyond, I honour your courage in showing up daily, your wisdom in raising a generation of dreamers and doers, and your commitment to values that sustain justice, unity, and dignity.
As we mark this special day, let us remember that fatherhood is not only a title, it is a covenant. One that calls for patience, purpose, and presence.
Happy Father’s Day to every man who leads with heart and protects with honour.
