Nelson Mandela: What was it like to work for him?

Zelda la Grange was Nelson Mandela’s PA. She was with him for nearly 20 years and became indispensable. She regarded him as a grandfather-type figure, but became so close to him that some members of his family found it hard. 29 years on from his release from prison, she talks to Jane about her bond with Mandela, and how joining his staff at a young age shaped her life.
