Women urged to pay attention to their own health
On Women's Day this year, the Journey of Hope Team will send the women of South Africa a clear message about the importance of maintaining health and self-esteem to more effectively care for those close to them.
Many South African women are either solely responsible for the care of their families or live with the daily burden of mental and/or physical abuse, sometimes of both themselves and their children. Early detection of breast cancer is a major determining factor in surviving the disease, and the facts are clear: early detection saves lives. Unfortunately, women are often so busy caring for others – or have been psychologically and physically undermined to such a degree – that they may overlook or put off their own health-related concerns.
In order to spotlight the importance of early detection of breast cancer, the Journey of Hope Team will visit communities in outlying areas across the country. In these more needy social strata, breast cancer symptoms may go ignored or unnoticed until too late for effective treatment. Whilst breast cancer can affect anyone, regardless of race, age, creed or gender, women are statistically at higher risk. The Journey of Hope team wants to reach out to women, informing them about the critical need for regular self-examination in a bid to detect breast cancer early.
On Women's Day, Tuesday 09 August, the Journey of Hope Survivors will set off on Honda motorcycles from the Viper Lounge, Marine Circle Drive, Table View and ride through to Kleinvlei Sports Field, Eerste River to engage with the local community. At a fun-filled event which will include dancing, drum majorettes and music, the Journey of Hope riders will impart information to the public in an accessible, positive manner, sharing their own stories of hope, reinforcing the importance of self-examination, and debunking many myths surrounding breast cancer. TV show host and media personality Faizal Sayed will also share some of his experiences being involved with Cancer related campaigns as part of his social responsibility portfolio. Festivities start at the sports field from 08:00 and will continue until 17:00.
The Journey of Hope invites local motorcyclists wishing to join the ride to Eerste River to meet at the Viper Lounge by 08:30 on Tuesday, 09 August.
For more information on the joining the motorcycle ride from The Viper Lounge, please contact Bronwyn Durham on 087 808 3750, or email bronwyn@viperlounge.co.za. Alternatively, please contact Charmaine Petersen on 079 733 2106 for more information on the activities taking place in Eerste River.

Documentary on the life of a Great Saint
The production was commissioned by and is a joint initiative by the Chiraghe- e – Chishtia foundation and Habibia Soofie Saheb Badsha Peer Darbaar Riverside- Kenville based in Durban with the purpose of doing an an in-depth visual piece detailing every known aspect of the saint's life. Chirageh – e- Chishtia is an organisation dedicated to the research of the Sufis of the Chishtia order as well all other Sufi orders , and played a vital role in preparing the content and facilitating the production process.
Hazrat Badsha Peer arrived on the SS Truro in 1860 as in indentured labourer and as one of the first Indians to arrive from India to work on the sugar cane plantations in Durban. Since the early 1900s after the location of his grave by another mystic fondly known as Hazrat Soofie Saheb, Hazrat Badsha Peers Tomb located in the Brook Street Cemetry in Durban has become renowned as a place of spiritual benediction and reverence by many faiths and international travellers.
"The production was a challenging one from the view point that not much was known about the saint, so lots of information had to be pieced together" says content consultant, Naeem Khan of Chiraag-e-Chishtia Foundation. Khan, popular for his works on many Sufi mystic saints has been instrumental in preparing the content for the piece, working along with the commissioning organisation, the producers, technical team and other bodies to ensure the best production quality in terms of content and technical quality. "Many scenes dated to the 1800s were recreated with re enactment actors filmed strategically allowing the viewer maximum viewing quality" says Khan. The production features narrations by the internationally renowned Urdu poet and Radio lotus presenter Safee Siddiqi and extensive interviews with personalities like Hafez Fuzail Soofie who play a key role in the community regarding the teachings of the great Sufi Saints of Islam.
The Documentary can be seen shortly on the SABC and will be supplied to ITV, CTV a range of international satellite carriers.
