Honourable Ganief Hendricks, leader of the AL JAMA-AH political party delivered a keynote address to signify the start of the race for ten thousand pink walk participants. It was organized by Boland Muslim Society Women’s League and the walk took place in Strand.
During his keynote address he goes on to mention that early cancer testing saved his life. The doctors detected his cancer early, he was treated and cured and during that process he became a councillor and MP and now a DM. This hopefully will give inspiration to those diagnosed with cancer and who are on their way to become cancer survivors.
