BOOK NOW: My Fathers Coat

We are very privileged to be hosting Michael Charton at Joostenberg Wine Estate again. Some of you will have enjoyed his talk 1937 Springboks: The First World Champions which he presented here last year.

“MY FATHER’S COAT” is the acclaimed new story by Michael Charton. The realisation of his decade-long ambition to make the incredible story of South Africa more accessible. For Michael’s belief is that our past, notwithstanding the trauma, holds within it great powers of unity.

This is South African history as it has never been told: An emotional and provocative story tracking two-hundred tumultuous years through the eyes of five, inter-connected and controversial protagonists: Mzilikazi, Kruger, Rhodes, Smuts and Mandela.

A beautifully crafted story providing new order and meaning to our notoriously complex past, at a time when our history has never been more relevant.
