In 2015, when a series of tweets by Zelda la Grange unleashed a storm, she was asked: ‘Have you learnt nothing from Nelson Mandela?’ This book is her answer.

In 1994 Zelda le Grange joined President Nelson Mandela's office as a senior ministerial typist. She was promoted to one of Nelson Mandela's three private secretaries, and in 1999 he asked her to remain in his services beyond retirement. She served him until his death in 2013.
