'Van Wyk said he wanted to be read by everyone; by those about whom he wrote and by those who found his own culture foreign; he chose to write in several genres because "I could."' - Mail & Guardian, Maureen Isaacson 'Kids loved him [Chris van Wyk] - he visited schools all around the country to tell stories and get kids reading. He simply captivated them.' - Daily Maverick, J Brooks Spector Mr Hare meets Mr Mandela is one of the last stories Chris van Wyk wrote before he died and it originally appeared in Sunday Times Storytime: 10 South African Stories for Children. Mr Hare finds a R200 note on his doorstep. When he turns the note over he sees Mr Mandela's face and decides to brave the big city of Johannesburg to return it to Mr Mandela. But Mr Hare cannot read and he comes across many people along the way who want to get their hands on Mr Mandela's money. Mr Hare also cannot work out why the note keeps changing colour! The book is available in English, Afrikaans, isiXhosa and isiZulu.
