In the first special episode of 'You're On Mute', our host June Sarpong, Director of Creative Diversity at the BBC, speaks to Christo Brand, the man who served as Nelson Mandela's jailer and eventually became his best friend.

Christo provides insight into a very special relationship between these two men, racially from opposite sides of society. This multi-layered tale contains many lessons and demonstrates how the kind, measured and respectful use of powerful authority can bring an unexpected or unanticipated bonus.

Ultimately, the positive way Nelson Mandela responded to his 27 year incarceration is exemplary, setting the standard as a role model for leaders in all disciplines.
