“I finished ‘Beating Chains’ this evening. Truth be told I just sat staring at nothing for about quarter of an hour thinking about what I had just read.
If you want to read a book about rising above life’s challenges then read Rusty’s book. Wanna read about mental termoil, about suffering in prison for 10 years then read Rusty’s book.
But more than this, if you want to read of a man who loses everything, is beaten down by political abuse, a breakdown of law and order, of a man who fights the system on his terms, who has little choice but to rebuild himself from the inside out, then read ‘Beating Chains’.
Rusty, this is an amazing book, full of emotion and inspiration – brutally honest and openly self-deprecating. A true record of a heartbreaking period.
Rusty – your story is far from over. Thank you for allowing me to be a distant spectator in your decade of fear and injustice.
I salute you, good sir.”
Erick Liebenberg, MD, The Core Group

“I have read many books and yours is one of the few that makes me see the world in new ways. After reading it I probably won’t ever see the world in the same way again.”

“This is what Rusty Labuschagne accomplished with our staff development.
On a hot Wednesday afternoon 119 of our staff members were swept away and inspired by Rusty’s life story about victory over injustice.
His resilience, strong mind set and positive outlook on life was a true inspiration and
the perfect example of how challenges and life’s curve balls ought to be handled.
Throughout the 10 years of utmost injustice the gratitude and hope that he displayed, and still displaying is truly uplifting.
Rusty’s testimony is the perfect motivation and life changing inspiration to ensure that
you start your new school year as teacher with hope, gratitude, dignity and a positive mindset.
Laerskool Garsfontein salutes you!”

“Hi Rusty – I have just finished reading Beating Chains. You truly are a huge inspiration. I am not an avid reader, but could not put your book down. The life lessons I have learned in the last ten days, out of your book, will forever be with me. If we can live our lives by your reflections, we would have lived the most enriched lives. Thank you for sharing your story, a story I will always keep close to my heart.”
