Fijian rugby icon Waisele Serevi is urging Fiji's legal fraternity to uphold integrity, humility, and service as the nation undertakes significant legal and constitutional reforms.
Delivering his keynote address at the 27th Attorney-General’s Conference in Nadi last night,Serevi reflected on his journey from humble beginnings to representing Fiji in more than 80 countries through rugby.
Serevi says his return to Fiji over the past year has been driven by a desire to give back to young people and help address the rise of drug use among youth.
Through his Serevi International Rugby Academy, he has mentored children across Fiji and helped hundreds of students secure university opportunities overseas.
He says talent opens doors, but character keeps them open, and is encouraging young people to trust in God, work hard, respect others, and stay away from drugs or anything that destroys the calling on your life.
Serevi also commended the Attorney-General’s Office for its commitment to good governance, transparency, and ensuring that justice in Fiji remains fair and accessible.
He acknowledged the significant national issues being addressed at this year’s conference, including electoral reforms, native land law reform, juvenile justice, transnational crime, cybersecurity, and cybercrime, areas he described as “full contact challenges” requiring courage and clarity.
Drawing parallels between rugby values and the responsibilities of legal practitioners, Serevi reminded participants that behind every legal case is a human story, “someone’s daughter, someone’s son” and urged compassion to remain central to the justice system.
He says one cannot win alone, and that one nation rises together, or not at all.
