Chabad Double Bay, Sydney – Zoom, Sunday 15th November 2020

Dear Christo

Thank you for an outstanding zoom presentation sharing your courage, care, kindness for the Father of our Nation, President Nelson Mandela.  Yours and his are both inspirational stories. My beloved late mother Zelda Gosschalk met her late husband Bernard Gosschalk when he came out of exile in UK to attend Nelson’s 75th birthday. He was invited by  Mr Mandela to attend.

Bernard was in solitary confinement for some months and went into exile. He and his then wife Ruth, who died of cancer in UK, were activists. My mother was also active against apartheid. I met Mr Mandela too.

Thank you for your inspiration Christo. And I am sorry for the tragic loss of your son. God bless you for taking care of Mandela, Sisulu and others. – Gill Fish
