Purple is more than just a colour.
It tells a story, stands as a symbol and makes a statement.
Over the years, this bold shade has come to represent wisdom, dignity, courage and resistance. Today, purple is at the heart of a movement that goes beyond social media.

It has become a call for justice, unity and change, especially in the fight against (GBV).

According to the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development, Gender-based Violence (GBV) means all acts perpetuated against women, men, boys and girls on the basis of their s*x which causes or could cause them physical, s*xual, psychological, emotional or economic harm.

Today we stand in unity to acknowledge and speak up against GBV!

It Takes 3 Minutes to Know What’s Normal
Men’s health starts with simple habits — and one of the most important is the monthly self-check for testicular health.

It only takes a few minutes, and it can make all the difference.
Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Warm up.
Do the self-check right after a warm bath or shower. The warmth relaxes the skin, making it easier to feel any changes.
Step 2: Use both hands.
Gently roll one testicle between your thumb and fingers. Feel for any lumps, swelling, or hardness. Don’t panic if one feels slightly larger — that’s normal.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side.
Check the second testicle the same way. You’re looking for new or unusual changes compared to what’s normal for you.
Step 4: Know what’s normal.
You’ll feel soft tubes at the back — that’s where s***m is stored. Those are meant to be there.
Step 5: If something feels off, don’t wait.
Book a visit with our resident Urologist.

Early checks save lives.
It’s that easy — a quick, private habit that protects your health.

Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate. The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in males that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports s***m. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer.

A blood test called a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made by the prostate. The levels of PSA in the blood can be higher in men who have prostate cancer. The PSA level may also be elevated in other conditions that affect the prostate.

As your doctor about the test.

Breast Cancer Affects Men Too

Many don’t realize that men can also develop breast cancer. While rare, about 1 in every 100 breast cancer cases occurs in men — often diagnosed late because it’s unexpected.

Men should look out for lumps, ni**le changes, or skin dimpling and seek medical advice early. Awareness saves lives, no matter your gender.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s break the stigma and encourage early screening for everyone.

Heritage Day – Celebrating Our Diversity

Heritage Day is a special reminder of the rich cultural tapestry that makes South Africa unique. It is a day to honour our traditions, languages, histories, and the diverse communities that together form the heartbeat of our nation.

For South Africans, Heritage Day is not only about looking back with pride, but also about embracing unity in our diversity. It is a chance to reflect on where we come from, celebrate who we are, and commit to building a shared future based on respect, understanding, and togetherness.

Whether through food, music, dance, storytelling, or simply gathering with loved ones around a braai, this day reminds us that our heritage is living, dynamic, and deeply connected to our sense of identity.

Let’s celebrate what makes us different, and what brings us together.
