		Sachs describes the triple-volume foyer, with its angled, mosaic-covered tree-like pillars and wire blossom lights suspended from the roof, as "a clearing in the forest where sun shines in, and moves over the day, still shining in.
		Sachs is a distinguished fighter for human rights in South Africa, having almost given his life to the struggle in Maputo, Mozambique, in 1988 where he was the victim of a car bomb and lost most of his right arm and the sight of one eye.

	AfricaFiles \| "Preparing ourselves for power": Albie Sachs in Toronto
		However, some of Sachs' interlocutors during his Toronto visit were more uneasy with the tone he adopted when advocating, in very strong terms, the need for "pragmatism," "hard realism" and "macro-economic discipline" in dealing with socio-economic issues ("We have to learn to live in the modern world," he stated).
		Sachs does feel that a reasonable line is likely to be held, although he also expresses concern about the current attempt by "federalogues" to freeze the divisions of powers defined by the present interim constitutional arrangements into place.
		Of course, Sachs reminded us, the ANC was literally at war and agents were being sent in massive numbers by General Coetzee to infiltrate, even to kill the leadership and some in the ANC did favour the use of any means to get information from suspect and/or known agents.
