What a gift for us to be with the two of you today! Such inspirational messages and things to consider thinking about. We are so happy that our students were able to hear from you today. Even though these are stories of the past, they continue being relevant today. Thank you!!! We look forward to going to SA at some point in the near future and meeting in person.
Miami Country Day School - Zoom, December 2020
I thought the Christo Brand talk was: Inspirational – the story of a relationship between a guard and a prisoner. From one hour of Christo Brand talking I could see how kind Christo Brand was to all and what colour your skin was didn’t matter. From one hour Christo Brand told the highs (playing table tennis with Nelson Mandela ) and the lows (when Christo Brand’s son sadly dies). This talk taught me a lot. Many thanks – Flo I found the talk very interesting, as Nelson Mandela saw that his pr… Read more

Thank you again for such an amazing evening with Christo.  He was truly sensational and his story was honest, inspirational and heart-warming.  It has gone down so well here with all the parents – I have had loads of messages of thanks – Tom Newman

How privileged we were to have been there.  But then came that address, the recollections of Christo. Just astonishing – his remarkable account of the Madiba years. To hell with the breakfast … there was not a second that one could be pulled away from that story by a mere Lordly croissant!  It was a brilliant and very memorable occasion.

What an incredible evening you provided! We met Christo at Baias last night and held us captivated by his story about being a guard for Nelson Mandela for 18 years. What a story and what a life he had. He gave us his book with his experience and dedicated it to us. What a treat, Cindy. I don’t know how you managed it, but we certainly were incredulous that a guard for Mandela would come and talk about his experience! Thank you Cindy for the experience and for the dinner. It was lovely. Wow!
