Abstract:
This article explores the restorative justice jurisprudence of Justice Albie Sachs. The judgments highlighted are Dikoko v Mokhatla, the Port Elizabeth Municipality v Various Occupiers and S v M (Centre for Child Law as Amicus Curiae). Sachs himself links these together in his book The strange alchemy of life and law in chapter three which is entitled 'A man called Henri: Truth, reconciliation and justice'.
