In 1988 he was nearly killed by a car bomb in Mozambique, and was left for dead. In the incident he lost an arm, scars,mark his body and he still limps. A modest person, who generates considerable personal warmth, the experience has evidently left him with a greater sense of life. And despite his near-fatal brush with death, Sachs is remarkably lacking in bitterness. This is illustrated by his ability not only to taik about what happenec to him, but tojoke about it. He tells the story of how, when coming round in hospital, one of the first things he thought about was an old joke about a j ewish businessperson, Hymie. Hymie was knocked down by a car, and when he stood up again he bru s hed~himse lf off and crossed himself. A friend saw this and was somewhat surprised. He went across to Hymie and said he didn't realise he had become a Catholic. No, said Hymie. I was checking: spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch. Sachs relates how he told this to some of the young ANC comrades who came to visit him. The story rapidly spread in ANC circles that the first thing ,Comrade Albie was concerned about when he came round were his bools! Since his youth Sachs has been an ardent campaigner against apartheid. He went into exile'in 1966 after operating under severely repressive conditions and being detained twice by the South African security police. Sachs first went to England to study and then spent 11 years in Mozambique. He is now based in London where he is busy with full-time research connected Albie Sachs.
