Win tickets to inspiring talk about South African history
Two lucky readers can win a pair of tickets to the talk on Tuesday, 22 May.
MICHAEL Charton, a Capetonian with a passion for the story of South Africa, will present an inspirational talk on the history and heroes of South Africa at St Agnes Church in Kloof on Tuesday, 22 May at 6.30pm.
My Father’s Coat is the realisation of Michael Charton’s decade-long ambition to make the incredible story, that is South African history, more accessible to its people and open the hearts of South Africans to its past, so that they may use their story as a source of unity and healing.
Accordingly, his idea was to condense the epic narrative of the country into a bite-size story which is both compelling and accurate.
But, importantly this is no history lecture. Instead this is a story. A human story told by climbing into the boots of five prominent, interwoven, protagonists, spanning two hundred turbulent years: Mzilikazi, Kruger, Rhodes, Smuts and Mandela.
Michael’s passion saw him leave behind the life of a chartered accountant to make this project happen and his passion shines through in his delivery.
