Testimonials

I have long been looking forward to meeting Christo and listening to what he could tell about his meeting with Nelson Mandela.  At school we were concerned about what happened in South Africa during the apartheid regime. In Norway, we are proud to have awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to 4 South Africans. I have been to Vietnam and talked to the young people about their reactions after the Vietnam War. They talk about forgive, lagging behind to build a new future. Many of the same thoughts about… Read more
Talk with Rune Engstrom's group - 13 October 2018
On behalf of my form group at Latymer Upper School I just wanted to say thank you for the incredible journey you took us on this afternoon. It was a fantastic experience for myself and my form group to hear your life with Mr Mandela.
Ross Doneghan, Latymer Upper School - Zoom, 10th May 2021
“Just to say thanks for organizing this presentation. While I knew some of this story was great to have Christo tell his story in person. I’m sure all watching took a lot from this presentation and I hope carry this powerful message of mutual respect with them moving forward.” “Thanks very much for giving us an opportunity to learn far more about such a great man and the situations around his life. I found today very informative, powerful and certainly emotive.”
Warwick Academy, Bermuda - Teams session, 21st September 2021
Please convey our thanks to Christo for his presentation last night. I didn’t count but I think about 60 – 70 people were there. A group of foreign language students came too – mostly from Saudi Arabia and one from Palestine. All were fascinated by the story and all the students bought books I think.  As well as many others.
St Stephen's Church - 4th July 2018
Hello Mr Brand, I have recently finished your wonderful book “Doing Life with Mandela – My Prisoner, My Friend”. I wanted to thank you for sharing such interesting insights into the life of Nelson Mandela and into your own personal life. Your stories are so down-to-earth and genuine, and I learned so much from them. I was inspired to read the details of how Mr Mandela triumphed after so many years of oppression and perseverance. It is remarkable to think you were able to support him … Read more

Evergreen Broadacres - 9 May 2019
Just a short note to thank you so much for a quite inspirational evening on Tuesday – I meant what I said that it really was the high point of lockdown for me! Your ears should be burning with all the praise that has been flying around from both parents and boys at Papplewick. Thank you so much as well for being so patient with our boys’ questions and so generous in your time in answering all of them. I said that they won’t forget your talk in a hurry and I can safely say that I will n… Read more

“It has been a longtime wish to visit Robben Island since I was in high school learning of this man called Nelson Mandela. That wish came true, and through Christo Brand’s personal stories and interaction of his time in Robben Island and through the years after Nelson Mandela’s release, my husband and I felt we were also personal friends with Christo and Madiba. This visit was an invaluable experience, made so much more special by Christo. Thank you Andrew for organizing this on our behalf. T… Read more
