		<description><![CDATA[Back by popular demand after a sold-out event held in honour of Mandela Day 2019, fascinating keynote speaker Christo Brand returns to The Cellars-Hohenort in Constantia, Cape Town this Human Rights Day 2020. Brand is a South African former prison guard who was one of several responsible for guarding Nelson Mandela. The Cellars-Hohenort hotel is hosting a special evening with Brand on 21 March 2020 to commemorate a day &#8211; and a man &#8211; that changed the history of the country. Brand will share the story of how his friendship with Madiba began and regale guests with tales South Africa’s best-loved icon. &#160; This one-night-only event takes the form of a talk accompanied by a six-course dinner at The Conservatory restaurant, which will be prefaced by welcome drinks at 19h00. Here, Brand will set the scene, describing how he met Mandela. As one of the few people who knew Mandela intimately, he is well placed to give us a rare glimpse into the man’s life, in a relaxed and comfortable setting. &#160; The Conservatory’s Executive Chef, Paul Nash has prepared a unique dinner menu based on a combination of Mandela’s favourite foods and dishes inspired by his time on Robben [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On this Mandela Day, 18 July 2019, The Conservatory at The Cellars-Hohenort will host an evening to celebrate the friendship of Madiba and Christo Brand, his former prison guard. Spend your 67 minutes with Christo who will reflect on this meaningful relationship with Mandela and will take guests on a narrative journey from the time of his first meeting with Madiba right up until the very end when he placed his hands on Madiba’s coffin. Christo and Mandela developed a close camaraderie over the course of many years – Madiba is the co-author of Christo’s book, Doing Life with Mandela: My Prisoner, My Friend (2014). Christo first came to Robben Island, where Mandela was being held, in 1978 when he was only 19 years old.
