Thank you so much for that incredible talk! Our children really enjoyed it – especially the group I had. We had a great conversation about it all afterwards. Such an incredible opportunity for them to hear all about life on Robben Island from Christo.

Toni Riemer, Dolphin School - Zoom, 24th March 2021

I just want to sincerely thank you, for setting up tonight’s Forum Speaker… I am humbled that we were able to listen to Christo Brand share his story with us, of his time with the legend that is Madiba! A truly special evening!

The Forum, Port Elizabeth - 20 May 2019

Christo was the guest speaker at this gala dinner. He was amazing; he blew the audience away with his insights into his journey with Nelson Mandela. The conference theme was Change – Better.

SAOA Past Presidents Dinner - Mount Nelson Hotel - 29 August 2021

I had the great privilege of speaking to Christo Brand yesterday about his experiences as a prison warder for Nelson Mandela and the amazing friendship they developed. Andrew and Clementine, our Sixth Form students, were brilliant with their interview. A truly inspiring experience.

Richard Brewster, Stamford School - Zoom Interview, 9th July 2021

It was a pleasure meeting you and Christo! Such a wonderful story!! I hope to see you in Dallas soon.

Kent Rathbun - 30th July 2019

Christo’s account allowed me to appreciate the power of forgiveness and education that Nelson Mandela championed. A different perspective but undertones of hope that despite massive difficulty and hurdles, meaningful change could come about within a lifetime.

Blooms Conference, September 2019

Just finished your book. What an inspirational read. Also informative about SA etc. My lasting impression was of the power of the positive to institute change. But also the place of kindness and compassion; the world could use more people like yourself. So thank you.

Book review - Lee Dunstan, Australia - October 2020

Wow! I have to say the stories were even more clear the second time around and I get more and more excited to hear from Christo! The audience sent me a number of personal messages as well saying “Thank you for this amazing lesson, Coach Mike!” “Thank you Coach Mike!” “I’ve learned so much about forgiveness!” and “Amazing stories!”

Zoom with Mike Hague, Shanghai - 5th June 2020

“Inspiring story that shows extending kindness even in the darkest of situations can have positive results.”

Sarah Snow - Good Reads

Meeting Christo Brand was such an honour. Spending years as Mandela’s prison guard, Christo was simply awe inspiring. To hear his stories and have the opportunity to ask questions about his time with Mandela is something I will always remember.
