Meet Chris Lubbe – Nelson Mandela’s Former Bodyguard and Confidant
We are honoured to welcome Chris Lubbe, the internationally acclaimed speaker, leadership coach, and former personal bodyguard to Nelson Mandela.
Chris’s story is nothing short of remarkable. Growing up during the dark days of apartheid, Chris witnessed injustice first-hand and dedicated his life to change. Handpicked by Nelson Mandela himself, Chris became one of his closest confidants and personal protectors, standing beside him through some of history’s most defining moments.
Through his powerful and moving keynote, Chris will share untold stories of courage, leadership, and resilience, offering rare insights into Mandela’s life and the values that shaped a nation. His message of hope, determination, and unity has inspired audiences worldwide — and now, Calibre 100 members and guests have the exclusive opportunity to hear it live.
