Encouraging people to be open about and get tested for cancer was the purpose of a stage play presented by the KwaMashu School of Dance in collaboration with Yabantu Multipurpose and Performing Arts Theatre at Ekhaya Guest House in Ballito on Sunday.

Gender-based violence was also addressed.

The performance was directed by Vusi Makanya, who said it was crucial that both women and men took proactive action by being tested, especially for breast cancer.
