Apart from sharing his own personal story, Chris shares from the many important lessons and anecdotes that he learned from working with Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.

Born at a very difficult period in South Africa's history, Chris made a decision early in his life to become an activist and to oppose the racially based system of 'apartheid: This decision was to put him on a direct collision course with the 'apartheid' regime which resulted in several spells of incarceration, torture and near-death experiences. 

After Nelson Mandela's release in 1990 and the fall of 'apartheid', Chris worked with Nelson Mandela until his retirement as a bodyguard and also got involved in the delicate negotiations with the 'apartheid regime' resulting in subsequent agreement and the drafting of the new constitution.
