In a beautiful twist of fate, South Africa’s National Storytelling Day shares its date with the birthday of one of the country’s most celebrated voices, Dr. Gcina Mhlophe. Renowned for her captivating performances, literary contributions, and dedication to preserving African heritage, Dr. Mhlophe has inspired generations with her words.

This year, she brings her enchanting performance Tales to Tell, Wings to Fly to the Hilton Arts Festival from August 8–10. A celebration of culture, imagination, and the joy of storytelling, the show is perfect for young dreamers, families, and children who love tales of animals and adventure.

She joins us to share more about her journey, her love for storytelling, and what audiences can expect at the festival.
