Meeting Nelson Mandela simply took your breath away. He had a remarkable aura, which left you without any doubt that you were in the presence of greatness. <br/> 'Our Madiba' is a collection of anecdotes from people who met Mandela. From ordinary South Africans – his former bodyguard, the child he met in hospital, the woman who shared his birthday – to celebrities and leaders like Richard Attenborough, Angelique Kidjo, Francois Pienaar and John Carlin. <br/> These stories reveal the traits that struck people about Madiba: His kind eyes, his broad smile, his mischievousness, his compassion and humility, his sense of humour and his genuine interest in the person meeting him. <br/> <br/> "He really made you feel you were the only person in the world." – Zapiro <br/> "It was not a publicity stunt or to look good. What he did was out of a true place of care and compassion." – Desmond Tutu
