Courage to Fly – Mental Health and the Cape Town International Kite Festival - 02 October 2025

This October, as the world observes Mental Health Awareness Month, we speak with Prof. Ingrid Daniels, CEO of Cape Mental Health, about the 31st Cape Town International Kite Festival. Under the theme #CourageToFly, the festival promotes hope, resilience, and unity while raising vital funds for free mental health services. Prof. Daniels discusses the benefits of kite-flying, the impact of violence on mental health in South Africa, and what the public can look forward to at the new venue, Youngsfield Military Field in Ottery.
