So I have learned about Cancer Association of Namibia during these difficult times’. She adds that for Temptations to do is by helping them to raise awareness and raise funds for them to be able to function well. “Business can only prosper in a healthy and prospering community. So, it is very important for us business people to help our communities whenever it is possible,” Olivia advises. Olivia says this glamorous event cannot be missed as the fashion will showcase outfits never seen before while South African comedian maps Maponyane will be the host. Olivia believes that Namibians are aware of cancer but most people are not fully aware of the screening options available. “My message to them is to seek counselling, so they will be able to fight it with strong mind not to be running between witchdoctors and fake churches but to take their treatment seriously,” advises Olivia.
