SA’s cancer story (Part One): Two SA women, two very different diagnosis and treatment journeys

Daily Maverick and Spotlight have launched a special series on cancer in South Africa, beginning with the first installment examining the contrasting experiences of two women navigating the country's healthcare system.

The initial report features accounts from rugby referee Aimee Barrett-Theron and community advocate Joyce Witbooi, who assists women in navigating Cape Town's public healthcare infrastructure.

The series aims to highlight systemic disparities in diagnosis and treatment journeys faced by patients within South Africa.
