The eyes of the world have fallen on South Africa. In April 2010 our Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe unveiled a fossil of a new species, called Australopithecus sediba, widely held by archaeologists and paleontologists to have played a significant part in human evolution. From 11 June to 11 July South Africa hosts the FIFA World Cup 2010, the 19th World Cup, but the first to be hosted by any African country.
South Africa is where it’s happening!
We believe that the 2011 World Mental Health Congress of the World Federation for Mental Health, to be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from 17-21 October, will have a far-reaching impact on the global agenda of mental health. The theme “African Footprint in Global Mental Health” invites participants from across the globe to explore and demonstrate how mental health challenges are being addressed in both developing and developed countries.
Add your footprint to ours as together we blaze a trail to global mental health!
Warm regards
