The Cansa Mkhuhla Care Home provides a safe space for cancer patients undergoing treatment, offering comfort, dignity, and support during one of life’s most challenging journeys. The donation coincides with Men’s Health Awareness Month, underscoring the importance of addressing men’s health issues, promoting early detection, and extending care to those affected.

Bruce McMurray, general manager of Jockey South Africa, expressed: “Supporting the Cansa Mkhuhla Care Home is a reflection of our belief in the power of community and compassion. It’s an honour to assist such an impactful organisation while raising awareness of critical health issues during Men’s Health Awareness Month. Together, we can contribute to healthier, more resilient communities.”

Leillani Geduld, national corporate relations manager for the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa), says: “We’re delighted with the generous donation of men's trunks from Jockey. This contribution will be allocated towards our male cancer patients at the Cansa Mkhuhla Care Home in Durban where we provide home-away-from-home accommodation for cancer patients who live far from treatment centres, while undergoing treatment. Cansa is incredibly grateful to Jockey for their support. This donation will further help us reach more men in KZN as part of our Prostate Cancer Patient Navigation Project where we aim to help prostate cancer patients navigate their screening, treatment, and post-treatment experiences.”

This initiative is part of Jockey’s broader social responsibility strategy, aimed at uplifting individuals and providing aid where it’s needed most. By fostering partnerships with organisations like Cansa, Jockey remains committed to building a legacy of care and support that extends far beyond its products.
