  • Summary

  • How many people can say they spent nine years as the former president of South Africa's body guard? Nope, not us either. But Chris Lubbe is so much more than his 'headline' suggests.  The youngest of 10, whom experienced apartheid first hand and spent years of his life vehemently campaigning for his and his countrymen's freedom. From witnessing police brutality at the age of 8, becoming a wanted man at 18, to being tortured and waterboarded within seconds of death - he has seen the very worst and the very best in all that life has to offer.  Chris came to work with Nelson Mandela by complete coincidence - beginning a new career as a bodyguard - mainly because the revolutionary was fascinated with the fact he was 6ft3 and wears size 14 shoes!  Now an inspirational speaker and coach living in the UK, he continues to inspire others to take action and bring about change within their personal lives and communities. During his conversation with #FIMpod host Clare Freeman, Chris talks of hope, justice and forgiveness.  All themes he believes are important even today, when the world continues to remain divided over Donald Trump, racism, religion and war. Presented and produced by ASFB Productions. Music by Thomas Ragsdale.
