Early life and career
Dausab grew up in Katutura, a segregated area for Blacks in Windhoek. She completed A Shipena Secondary School as the head girl. Dausab completed secondary school not long after Namibia's independence, and went on to study a BA in Law and LLB at the University of the Western Cape and an LL.M. with a specialization in Human Rights and African Democratisation at the University of Pretoria thanks to various scholarships.[1]
Dausab was admitted as a legal practitioner of the High Court of Namibia in April 2000 at the age of 25.[1] She then worked in human rights at an African NGO based in Lusaka, Zambia for five years before returning to Namibian and joining a private law practice. In 2007, Dausab joined the University of Namibia as a part-time law lecturer. In 2009, she received a faculty position and was later appointed the deputy dean.[1]
Political career
Dausab left academia in 2015 when she was appointed the chairperson of the Law Reform and Development Commission.[2][3] in 2015 by Namibian president Hage Geingob.[4] In March 2020, she was appointed Minister of Justice, replacing Sacky Shanghala.[5]
