About this listen

Good Morning, Mr Mandela is the journey of an awkward young typist, later chosen to become the president's most loyal servant, spending most of her adult life travelling with, and caring for the man she would come to call Khulu, or 'grandfather'.

Here Zelda pays tribute to Nelson Mandela as she knew him. A man who forgave and respected all, but who was also frank, teasing, and direct. Now she shares his inspiring gifts with the world.

Cried my eyes out in the last chapter. As a white South African female I really admired Zelda, and as so much of my adult life was experienced in this period it really touched me. Thank you so much Zelda for sharing this with us.

Oh South Africa

Would you try another book written by Zelda la Grange or narrated by Adjoa Andoh?

Interesting account of Mandela's Life. Terribly narrated, the strong accent and slight speech impediment makes it difficult and awkward to listen to and detracts from the actual story. The audible also cuts out several times throughout the book for a few seconds at a time. The story starts off great but a bit dull midway through the book with uninteresting recollections of hotel visits and embarrassing moments for the author. If you are interested in Mandela there are other far more interesting and better books written about him.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Accent and slight speech impediment made the for an un-enjoyable listening experience.

Could you see Good Morning, Mr Mandela being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

Yes

An interesting book terribly narrated

As a South African I was amazed by the detail and things I did not know.

i did however struggle with the narrator . she could not pronounce the words and sounded like she was over trying. This made it hard to finish the book.

fantastic read. struggled with the narrator

Zelda la Grange recounts her journey with Marina in words that heal, challenge and inspire. I listened with rapt attention and deep intrigue. Zelda really shares her story and lays out the powerful journey of an icon. Her candour is refreshing.

Ajoah Andoh made this book powerfully. I already have this in hard copy.

Powerfully Insightful

Having lived in South Africa for two years I fell in love with the country and it's people. This book took me back and along the way taught me some valuable life lessons. Fabulous and well worth listening to.

Wonderful
