Guest:Johann Kriegler - Retired justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and former head of the Electoral Commission.

Mangosuthu Gatsha Buthelezi played a prominent role in South African politics for almost half a century. He was one of the last of a generation of black South African leaders who influenced the transition from the white minority apartheid regime to a society under a democratically elected government.

Prince Buthelezi was born on 27 August 1928 in Mahlabatini into the Zulu royal family. His Zulu identity became the decisive compass for his career in politics, and personified the ambiguities between ethnic identity and national policy. He became the only Bantustan leader who played a significant role in South Africa’s transition to democracy and subsequent politics.
