Special Report Transcript Episode 86, Section 4, Time 38:01

My mother’s actually from Cape Town so I spent a number of years growing up in District Six. I have very fond memories of it. I went to school in Cape Town, in Kimberley and then finally went back home to my parents in Standard 3. I grew up the rest of that time in Lenasia. I spent two years at Durban-Westville University; got kicked out of the hostel and that’s how I ended up at Wits, in the late 1979 period. I think I was one of four students who were admitted to Wits, four non white students as they were then called. After a long period at Wits, it’s a very difficult period for me because I’ve not being used to mixing with students of other sorts of colour or background and it was a growing up process in those two years. I didn’t really find the practice of law so fulfilling and I tended then to work more with religious organizations and with NGOs involved in human rights work.
