VIDEO: Zelda la Grange joins us on air

Madiba's former Personal Assistant, Zelda la Grange, joined us in studio on Tuesday ahead of her book signing session in Durban. One lucky listener joined us too. It was simply incredible.

When Zelda arrived, we almost had to look twice to make sure it was in fact Zelda la Grange.

The Zelda who, until recently, was possibly the busiest and (quietly so) the most important woman in the world. 

The Zelda who was the former Personal Assistant to Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela for 19 years. 

To say Zelda is 'down to earth' would not not only be relying on a silly old cliché, but more appropriately, would be the understatement of the decade.

In fact, it took no longer than three minutes for our lucky in-studio winner, Amelia Prinsloo to be kuiering [chatting] with Zelda as if they were old friends.

Amelia (pictured above) was definitely a deserving winner. As soon as she arrived, Amelia started throwing out interesting facts about Zelda that none of us had known. 

"Oh I have loved this woman for many years. I have been researching her and have the utmost respect for Zelda," Amelia said while we were waiting for Zelda to arrive.

If you missed our on-air chat with Zelda, here it is right here.

It is incredible to see the values and morals of Madiba still live through her.
