Estée Lauder Companies will join forces with the City of Johannesburg to light up the Nelson Mandela bridge in pink colors during October in a bid to raise awareness of breast cancer awareness.

This will be just one of many cities across the world that will light up various landmarks to promote the charitable cause.

Member of the Mayoral Committee for Health and Social Development in the City of Johannesburg, Dr Mpho Phalatse, said, “The lighting of Nelson Mandela Bridge will serve as a reminder of the fact that the earlier breast cancer is detected and diagnosed, the better your chances of beating it.”
