Columbia University Libraries Oral History Research Office has placed online a series of video interviews done as part of the Carnegie Corporation Oral History Project. Among these are interviews with South African political personalities, including the documentary photographer , former Robben Island political prisoner and postapartheid president of the Land Claims Court Fikile Bam, lawyer Geoff Budlender, president of the Constitional Court Arthur Chaskalson, human rights lawyer John Dugard, labor researcher Mary-Jane Moriri, medical doctor and political activist (and later deputy president of the World Bank) Mamphele Ramphele, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and economist Francis Wilson.
The excellent series (including biographical descriptions of the participants) — I have listened to some of these interviews — can be downloaded here.
