Talking with Mandela: Stories from Robben Island with Revd Colin Chambers

Revd Colin Chambers served as chaplain to Nelson Mandela for eight years when he was imprisoned on Robben Island. Listen to how their relationship developed and the talks they had inside the prison bars. Enjoy a fascinating evening of reminiscences from a man who got to know Mandela before he became the renowned international statesman and leader.

As Revd Colin says: "That humility, that warmth of spirit. Whether he was with the Spice Girls or whether he was with another head of state from another country... he was the same. There was no pretence; what you see is what you get and people liked what they got... that's what was so real about Nelson". Enjoy a fascinating evening of reminiscences from a man who got to know Mandela before he became the renowned international statesman and leader.
