Congratulations on your piece on the life and achievements of James Selfe (“James Selfe found common ground where others couldn’t resist conflict”, May 22).

I tutored James when he was an honours student at the University of Cape Town and I recall him for his critical openness to left and right-wing ideologies and his final commitment to liberal values, consonant with the principles of enlightenment of Immanuel Kant.

May James’ values find a place in SA’s political world.
