Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom hosted a Cancer Awareness Drive with Daughters Of Africa

Early detection saves lives!

Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom hosted a Cancer Awareness Drive with Daughters Of Africa in partnership with Sibaya Community Trust on Wednesday, 23 August.

“It’s important for individuals in our country to know that detecting cancer early enough may save their lives,” said Karen Hammond; Sibaya HR Manager. “We thank all our guests and staff that came out to support this initiative and those who took the time to get screened.”

The drive encouraged those to get free breast, cervical and prostate cancer screenings with pathology tests.

Further we continue with free cancer screening via our NPO Daughters of Africa, who also assist us on our free covid vaccination drive.  From our free cancer screening, over 400 people were found to have had abnormal cells and referred to specialists. 

Sibaya Community Trust has supported over 120 entities and has spent close to R250-million on community upliftment projects ranging from programs around health, education, infrastructure and much more. 

Over the last few weeks, we have handed over many completed projects.

We have numerous legacy projects attached to our name.  Our Trust plays a significant role by being actively entrenched and consistent in community upliftment. 

Our list of infrastructure projects has served masses in the communities they were built in.

We are committed and will continue to reach out to change as many lives as possible.

He thanked Prof Vanessa Moodley, the founding Trustee of Keratoconus for bringing this project to Sibaya Community Trust and thanked the team at Keratoconus for the amazing work on our children.

Prof Vanessa Moodley praised the work of the Trust and said because of their generosity children were able to get their vision back, see the faces of their parents and teachers and return to society.
