As Breast Cancer Awareness Month unfolds, community members from across Kwatsaduza have come forward to share their thoughts on why this month is so important.
Here’s what they had to say:
Chuma Thambekile: Breast Cancer Awareness Month gives us a platform to learn and share. Many free screening campaigns happen. We must use these opportunities to protect ourselves. Photo: Chuma Thambekile
Noluthando Kondile: Breast cancer doesn’t discriminate. This month reminds us to take our health seriously, go for screenings and support those fighting cancer in our communities. Photo: Noluthando Kondile
Lungelo Ndlovu: Many people in our communities still believe cancer is a death sentence. Breast Cancer Awareness Month helps break those myths and shows that early detection and treatment can give people a fighting chance. Photo: Lungelo Ndlovu
Musa Mbhele: As men, we don’t always talk about our health. Breast Cancer Awareness Month encourages us to be more proactive, especially because men can also experience breast cancer. Early detection can save our lives. Photo: Musa Mbhele
Nompumelelo Zulu: Breast cancer has affected someone in almost every family I know. This month helps us talk openly about it, support each other and learn how to detect it early. Awareness saves lives. Photo: Nompumelelo Zulu
