The Future Constitutional Position of White South Africans: Some Further Ideas

A paper, written by Albie Sachs under the auspices of the South Africa Constitutional Studies Centre in London, shortly before he joined the Community Law Centre. He discusses the emotive issue of the future position of White South Africans in a democratic South Africa. 'Freedom', he argues, means to be permitted to do what was formerly unjustly forbidden. He discusses how the new Constitution of South Africa has to be for all South Africans, former oppressors and oppressed alike.
