During the height of apartheid, Bizos, a practicing attorney, dedicated his professional career to the fight for human rights.
"In our constitution it is stated that South Africa belongs to all who live in it. There is a tendency recently which may affect this ideal negatively because there is a small group of South Africans who say Mandela betrayed South Africa in the constitution when he said South Africa belongs to all who live in it," he said.
"There is even a smaller group of people who say that there are people who are not South Africans but people from outside the country, and this includes certain religions. "South Africa belongs to all who live in it and we must all support it. Neither you nor I are lesser South African."Bizos was born in 1927 in and arrived in South Africa in 1941 as a World War II refugee with his father.
