The event saw families, runners and golfers take part in a 5 kilometre fun run and walk, followed by a colourful sprayathon where participants sprayed their hair in support of cancer awareness.

Funds raised will go directly to support cancer services including education, screening and patient support programmes.

South Africa has been named one of the most polite countries in the world in a new global survey measuring everyday courtesy across 26 nations.
The study by global financial services provider Remitly surveyed more than 4 600 people, asking respondents to identify countries they associate with polite behaviour based on personal experience.
South Africa placed among the top 10, alongside countries such as Japan, Canada and the United Kingdom, with respondents recognising everyday acts of kindness and respect.
The findings suggest that simple gestures like patience, friendliness and helping others contribute to how South Africans are perceived globally.
