South Africa: Men run to raise awareness of prostate cancer

In Johannesburg, hundreds of men wearing purple swimsuits took part in the annual Hollard Daredevil Race to raise awareness of prostate cancer. The event encourages men to discuss their health and seek screening earlier, as the disease remains taboo and diagnosis is sometimes delayed. Participant Motaung Lehasa said he had lost two brothers to prostate cancer. Riyaad Kriel urged men to consult a doctor if they notice changes in their bodies and stressed the importance of medical exams, including the PSA test.
