Enthusiastic members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s Richard Allen Young Adult Council (Rayac) gathered early on Saturday, October 25, at the Florida Lake for a 3km walk in support of those battling cancer.
According to presiding elder Reverend Bathusang Motaung, Rayac aims to empower young adults to grow in Christ, lead with purpose, and serve with compassion.
“The walk, under the theme of Steps for Strength, was a meaningful initiative uniting faith and wellness under one purpose: to walk for hope, healing, and awareness,” says Motaung.
According to Renèe Singh, cancer survivor and advocate and founder of Warriors with a Purpose, the walk served as a symbol of endurance, faith, and unity, reminding participants that every step taken in love and solidarity is a step toward healing and restoration.
“It was a time to honour survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and strengthen the community through shared faith and compassion,” she said.

"Johan is an internationally published journalist and editor with extensive experience in news and industry reporting. His work has featured in numerous publications over the years.
He cut his teeth at the Roodepoort Record and Northside Chronicle as proofreader, swiftly progressing to junior journalist. He later joined Randfontein Herald as journalist and eventually worked his way up to becoming editor. During his years away from Caxton, he fulfilled journalist and editor positions for various industry publications at the once mighty Malnor Media House right up to their closure in 2019. This position saw him traveling all over the world on writing assignments. Since 2019, he has worked as a freelancer for various publishing houses, and had a year-long stint as senior editor for a large stable of retail and medical B2B titles, until rapid growth of his own small business required his fulltime attention. At the end of 2023, with his own business now fully staffed, Johan decided to dedicate himself to his first love, working as a local journalist for the good of his community.
