Nelson Mandela's Robben Island prison chaplain has said South Africa's first black president would be "disappointed" with politics in the country today.

Reverend Colin Chambers met Nelson Mandela in 1977 and spent 8 years as his pastor, confidante and friend in the notorius Robben Island prison, where Mandela spent eighteen years of his twenty-seven year incarceration.

He was one of very few visitors allowed access to the future ANC leader and President. He told ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 5 live: "I think Mandela would be disappointed, and I think the area that would disappoint him more than any other area, would be the levels of corruption...there wasn't a corrupt bone in his body."

Reverend Colin Chambers is a former Lieutenant commander in the South African Navy, who was a Prison Chaplain for fifteen years, including 8 years to Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners on Robben Island.
