My Jewish mother and father escaped from Nazi Germany in 1937 to South Africa, where I was born in 1938. I grew up in the troubled times of my parents divorce, boarding in a Catholic convent school when 6, then moving to Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. There I trained in, then taught martial arts, gaining third Dan in Judo, earning my living from motivational talks to large companies and groups. I joined the Police Reserve during the turbulence of Ian Smiths government, his overthrow and the horrors of Apartheid. I was head hunted by Special Branch to infiltrate ultra right wing groups and, successfully to block their arms imports. In my private life I had four beautiful children and three husbands, moving on retirement, with my third husband to UK in 2009. This experience had led me to successfully develop two very popular talks: 1: Aware Alert Alive Teaching gentle people, men and women, to avoid violence and to use simple self defence techniques to remain safe. An enjoyable, uplifting and fun hour for all ages. 2: Everyone has a story to tell! Based on my self published book, 'Letting Go', I cover the often hilarious and sometimes sad trials and tribulations of my life. Covering my mother's exciting escape from the Nazis, me a truculent child Jewish child in a convent, to becoming the 'Harare Mata Hare' as a successful spy.
