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.

Christo talks at the House Of Lords - 15 June 2018

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.

The talk was really amazing and so well received. He even had lunch with the CEO. All went very well and a fitting tribute to the special day that was Mandela Day. Thanks again for your help and please do pass on our thanks to Christo and team.

This book gives a different perspective showcasing Mandela’s leadership, someone I will always deeply respect. Christo Brand is a brave and kind man who gave his friendship and support to Mr Mandela and his fellow prisoners in times of hardship and that deserves respect #mustread

Danielsen School, Norway - Zoom 13th April 2021

It was the best tour of the island that I have ever been on but most importantly the guests really enjoyed the tour with Christo. It was very evenly balanced and gave both sides of the situation in a very comprehensive way. I have spoken to all of the guests privately about the tour and every single one gave very positive feedback. Andrew Schofield, Tour Director, Giltedge Africa

Private Robben Island Tour with Christo - 4 November 2018

Wow, what an amazing morning for Josie and her classmates! Such a special time spent with Christo. It was almost surreal to be in the presence of Christo, and to think that he was such a big part of history. It is an incredible story! Thank you so much – this will be something the kids will never forget!

Zoom Interview with 4 pupils at Mercer Island High School, Seattle - 26th May 2021

Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed hearing and speaking to you and Christo this morning. Watching from the back you could see the boys were really engaged; in fact, as soon as you went off line, several of them commented how good it had been. Speaking for myself, I found it once again a fascinating talk – and really quite emotional. It is so good for the young to experience things like this – thank you so much for putting it on. – Tom Edwards
