Well-known Namibian sport personality and coach Quinton Steel-Botes is in Cape Town for cancer treatment.
He has received chemo and is in his second week of isolation. He has continuously been struggling with nausea and high fever. The greatest challenge however is to win the spiritual battle in his mind - to choose to remain positive.
His wife Benita daily writes reports of his progress on Facebook and how he and the family lives through each challenge, holding on to God.

She asked: If you don't have God, what do you hold on to? In the isolation unite, you are naked before God. Whether you're a street cleaner or the President, poor, or a millionaire- all are the same. Money can heal you. Only the grace of God. And if you do not believe - oh goodness, I can't even think of the battle going on in your head.
Let us unite in prayer for Quinton and his family, but also for other cancer patients. We also join you as you pray for your loved ones. Let us not loose faith. Let us continue to trust God for healing. Let us praise Him for good health and extend a helping hand to those in need. Let us show our love by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost world.
Let us not forget our calling. There is something worse than death, and there is something better than human flourishing.There is a death for God's children that should not be feared (Heb.2:14-15), and a second death for the ungodly that should be (Rev. 20:11-15) feared. It is a matter of life and death. We are to call broken people back to their Creator.
