Kumi Naidoo

In the sixth episode of Voices from SA, host Nicholas Claude speaks to lifelong activist Kumi Naidoo, shortly before his appointment as Head of Amnesty International.

During the course of a wide-ranging discussion Kumi speaks passionately about the role that activism can play in changing legislation and transforming society. “Optimism of action is the best antidote for the terrible analysis of where the world is. I refuse to accept that the world we live in is the best that humanity can create for itself.”
