Albie Sachs on Anti-Apartheid Activism and Constitutionalism in South Africa

Albie Sachs, former judge, freedom fighter, and professor, speaks (and sings!) about his anti-apartheid activism and lifelong commitment to equality and justice. He reflects on the enduring need for "soft vengeance" and draws on his 15-year term on South Africa's Constitutional Court to emphasize the importance of constitutionalism for democracy. The interview concludes with Sachs' thoughts on Jacob Zuma's demise and Cyril Ramaphosa's presidency.
