Good Morning, Mr. Mandela by Zelda La Grange

Good Morning, Mr. Mandela by Zelda La Grange

"An important reminder of the lessons Madiba taught us all."--President Bill Clinton

There are numerous books about Nelson Mandela, but Good Morning, Mr. Mandela is the first by a trusted member of his inner circle. In addition to offering a rare close portrait, Zelda la Grange pays tribute to Madiba as she knew him--a teacher who gave her the most valuable lessons of her life. Growing up in apartheid South Africa, La Grange, a white Afrikaner, feared the imprisoned Nelson Mandela as "a terrorist." Yet she would become one of his most devoted associates for almost two decades. Inspiring and deeply felt, this book honors a great man's lasting gift.

Zelda la Grange was born in 1970 in Boksburg, South Africa, and began working as a secretary for the South African government in 1992, in the Department of State Expenditure. In 1993 she moved to the Human Resources division, and in 1994 she joined the office of the first democratically elected president of South Africa as a senior ministerial typist. She became one of President Mandela s three private secretaries in 1997. In 2002 she left government and became a full-time employee of the Nelson Mandela Foundation.
