Tshepo Madlingozi will be participating in our
upcoming Thinking Africa colloquium.
Sally Matthews recently interviewed him about his work. This is the second part
of a two part interview, the first part of which can be found here Thinking Africa blog.
Tshepo
Madlingozi teaches law at the University of Pretoria. He is also a research
collaborator with the ALICEproject,
based in Portugal, which is dedicated to promoting Epistemologies of the South.
Tshepo also serves as an Advocacy Adviser and Board Member for the Khulumani Support Group and is a member of the Council for the Advancement
of the South African Constitution. He recently co-edited Socio-economic
Rights in South Africa: Symbol or Substance. One of
Tshepo’s key research areas relates to the use of the law by social movements. In
this research he asks some very important questions about how the law (and NGOs
providing legal advice) can assist social movements in their attempts to
achieve social justice.
