In February 2014, I spoke to Cape Town-born, classical crossover artist Selim Kagee. Since then, he has been doing everything from performing alongside Irish supergroup Celtic Woman, singing the national anthem in Australia to performing live at the Sergio Franchi Memorial Concert in the USA.

I was invited to Acrobranch Constantia and didn’t hesitate to say “YES!”. I was keen to check out the obstacle course as it looked physically demanding and included some zip-lining (my favourite!).
