Trade Review"At great personal cost, Raymond Suttner frequently confronts us uncomfortably with our shortcomings. His voice rings true with the aspirations which inspired the struggle for democracy in South Africa." - Hugh Corder, Professor of Public Law, UCT. "I listen to Raymond Suttner's interviews religiously because they give deep and fresh insights into the thinking and evolution of the ANC as a political party, as an alliance partner and as a governing party. His understanding of politics and its interconnection with law and the Constitution makes his contributions to the debates rich, challenging and yet measured." - Halton Cheadle, author of SA Constitutional Law: The Bill of Rights.
