Abstract
In his decision in Ferreira v Levin NO, Justice Ackermann - inspired by Berlin - appears to favour the negative conception of freedom. Yet at the same time Ackermann insists that 'a broad and generous interpretation of freedom does not deny or preclude the constitutionally valid, and indeed essential, role of state intervention in the economic as well as the civil and political spheres.'
