It was a blue Monday for Table Mountain, but not in the way you think. Our beautiful mountain lit up in blue last night in honour of International Childhood Cancer Day.
According to Traveller24, the blue light was sponsored by Childhood Cancer Foundation (CHOC), who have been supporting children with cancer for over 35 years. The mountain was illuminated to shine a light for those affected by the terrible disease and to make us reflect on this.
On the Table Mountain blog, they say that research shows the survival rate of children diagnosed with cancer in developed countries is around 80%, but the in South Africa it is only 50% as children are not diagnosed early enough. To see what work CHOC does check out this video.

Now let’s look at how beautiful Table Mountain was last night:

For one day this summer, Table Mountain should not be lit up in honor of all the nocturnal animals living on the mountain side who are tortured every night by the giant flashlights shone on their habitat
Heinrich Knoetze Photography Thank you.
So much beauty
Viva cape town thats the place we want to be
Wow!!! Will i still be able to see this Pam?
Mind you Ross Anthony has made a valid comment about the lights and the nocturnal animals, maybe limit the lights to one week of the month only..
At least it makes us stop and think for a minute whether its about sm1 we loved and lost or to go for checkups.. to voluteer….to donate…
And all the species that are living there are going to suffer especially to those tha are against the light #BIODIVERSITY↓↓↓▼▼▼▼▼▼
