One Step Behind Mandela: Rory Steyn on Protecting Madiba
Loading player...
Rory Steyn had one of the most extraordinary jobs in South African history: protecting Nelson Mandela.
Appointed to lead Madiba’s personal protection team in 1996, Rory travelled with him locally and internationally, getting to know the man behind the global icon and witnessing moments most South Africans never got to see.
His remarkable career later took him to six Olympic Games and multiple Cricket World Cups, while his passion for giving back led him to create the African Icons, supporting children of police officers killed in the line of duty.
This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, Rory shares those incredible Madiba memories, the lessons he learnt along the way and the stories from a life spent protecting others.
