Christo Brand, former warder and close friend of Nelson Mandela.

Christo Brand was Nelson Mandela's warder who became a close friend of his through mutual respect and trust for each other. Christo shares his story in a wide range of ways with guests - including private tours of Robben Island; corporate events; private dinners and talks; tours of Drakenstein Nelson Mandela House. We are also currently offering a remote talk titled "Lessons from a Warder and his Prisoner" - a conversation with Andrew Russell, followed by a question/discussion/reflection time. This talk is popular with school, university and special interest groups around the world.
