Abstract

"Good Morning, Mr. Mandela: A Memoir" by Zelda La Grange is a well-reviewed biography that tells the story of La Grange's life while serving as the private secretary to Nelson Mandela, the renowned anti-apartheid leader and former president of South Africa. The memoir highlights the author's personal growth and Mandela's ability to inspire and transform those around him. La Grange reflects on her preconceived notions and the racial discrimination ingrained in South African culture, and how her interactions with Mandela challenged and changed her perspective. The book also explores Mandela's international travels and diplomatic initiatives. While the memoir has some shortcomings, it offers valuable insights into Mandela's life and the impact he had on those around him. [Extracted from the article]
