At Mandela's Pretoria residence in 1998, he and Graca Machel examine a birthday card for him from his former prison guard. Mandela and Machel were married later that day in Johannesburg.

Testimonials

We had the unforgettable opportunity to meet Christo and since he speaks from the heart we could almost feel ourselves the emotion of spending some time with one of the greatest leaders of the world, Nelson Mandela. We have proposed an event to share Transformative Meetings that had happened to our speakers and definitely everybody who was in the Theater that night came back home a totally changed person. Thanks a lot, Christo, for giving us that once-in-a-lifetime experience in Brazil.   Suelle… Read more
Inspira Event - Sao Paulo, September 2018
I wanted to thank both of you for the excellent presentation to the Ashbury students last Friday. Christo, as always your story continues to the inspire. The students not only learn so much about Nelson Mandela, but the message of respect, compassion and humanity are so important to them. Igshaan, thank you so much for joining the presentation. The students were amazed by your story, and horrified by the treatment you faced under the apartheid state. Today’s youth live in a world, wher… Read more

Jennifer Knox, Woodward Academy - Zoom, 15th March 2021
It was a fantastic weekend.  This was the first time we arranged TravelXpo and we didn’t know what to expect.  The feedback from both visitors and exhibitors are very good and we have already closed some stands for 2021. We wished for more visitors than we got ( 5.799) but all in all it was a good start, as this was the first time. It was very nice to have Mr. Christo Brand and his lovely wife Estelle at the fair.  We really enjoyed the lectures and the visitors was almost spellbound. We are … Read more
Travelxpo, Oslo - January 2020
We enjoyed a wonderful evening at Cellars-Hohenhort listening to Christo Brand, former warden on Robben Island and co-author of My Prisoner, My Friend based on his ling term friendship with Nelson Mandela.  Loved the Mandela inspired menu by Chef Paul Nash.
Cellars-Hohenhort Hotel, Mandela Day, 18 July 2019
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
Malvern College, 18 June 2018
Just finished your book today! Such a fascinating read!
Michelle Spitzer, Instagram - September 2023
The evening was a huge success and the guests all absolutely loved listening to him talk. There were loads of questions which he answered for them and some even bought a few more books from him!!  We did the book presentations at the end of the evening, rather than placing the books in the rooms for them! This also afforded the members to have their photo taken with him while holding the book! They loved it.   
Abercrombie and Kent - 7 April 2019
We really enjoyed our time with Christo, learnt so much and bought the book!  It was great to see the respect from ex-prisoner’s families and others. Thanks again for all your help with the arrangements. Bob Tyler (UK)
