Testimonials

Christo, I just finished reading your book. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible story. I’m so sorry for not hugging you at that meeting in Sao Paulo. In 2009 I was at Mandela’s house in Soweto, which is now a museum, and I hope to spend a brief day visiting Robben Island. Big hug! God bless you and your family a lot.

Bruno Cavalcanti - Sao Paulo, September 2018

Our boys will really have benefited from speaking to Christo and to you, and it is an experience of great meaning that I hope they will not forget. I hope it will be possible to repeat it next year!

Tom Edwards - Summerfields, Zoom - 23 June 2021

Christo, it was an honour to have met you this morning and heard your truly inspiring talk on Doing Life with Mandela.

Alastair Collins, May 2019

It was a pleasure having you! Really, really interesting seminar – the students enjoyed it!

Danielsen School, Norway - Zoom 13th April 2021

Hi – my name is Bianca and I’m a Brazilian living in Mexico. I’ve just finished your book and OMG. I had no idea about all you lived with Mandela, but in this book I know the huge human being that you are. Seeing all the injustices and living like a prisoner too. I’m so sorry about your son, but it reminded me about my uncle who died very young too. Thank you for sharing your memories!

Bianca Lopes, January 2021

Can I just say a huge thank you for your talk tonight? I was absolutely blown away with the story and the messages that it brought. Having only just finished the call 20 minutes ago, I have already received loads of thank you’s from parents, staff and more importantly the boys. They just loved it. A special thank you for taking the time to answer all of the boys questions; it was a never ending line but your patience with them was brilliant. I know you will have inspired a generation there.… Read more

We just had our feedback meeting with Duke University and they were very pleased with Christo’s presentation. Thank you!

Group talk - May 2024

Please convey our thanks to Christo for his presentation last night. I didn’t count but I think about 60 – 70 people were there. A group of foreign language students came too – mostly from Saudi Arabia and one from Palestine. All were fascinated by the story and all the students bought books I think. As well as many others.

St Stephen's Church - 4th July 2018

Fantastic would be an understatement. Everybody had a wonderful evening. I think the things that really stood out were Christo’s attention to detail but mostly the fact that he talks from the heart, it resonates with people and people can connect with that. I loved that they stayed for a bite to eat afterwards as I know they had a fair drive home last night. Quite a few books were sold too. My phone is beeping off the hook this morning with ‘thank you’s’’ from everyone. Monique Dean… Read more

Evening talk at a private home - 31 October 2018

It was a pleasure to host Christo in Port Elizabeth. The talk was great and when trying to relay some of it to my family we were all in tears – it was very moving. Susan Wilson
