Introducing the Covid-19 Chronicles, a daily 10-minute show streamed online so that everyone with access to the internet – even those with feature phones – can stay well-informed as the crisis unfolds in our country. With over 300 qualified and dedicated journalists countrywide as well as an experienced international award-winning team of television news producers, Caxton CTP is ensuring that the news aired on Covid-19 Chronicles is factually sound and aligned with the journalistic ethos.

You can find the Covid-19 Chronicles within Spectrum, a free local video platform that allows visitors to watch video content on any device, at a fraction of the bandwidth of other video platforms. Due to the content being shot and aired on a daily basis, the Covid-19 Chronicles always remains relevant to the latest effects that the coronavirus has on the country and the world at large.

The aim of Covid-19 Chronicles is to give valuable information to the public. We are doing our best to reach all citizens of South Africa by empowering them with relevant and reliable information related to the pandemic and asking our fellow South African brands to stand by us and support this initiative with sponsorship packages. As a news company, our first objective is to inform the public and so this project is not for commercial gain, but rather to help fund the continued sharing of factual news. For every sponsorship package sold, R5000 will go to the healthcare workers who are on the frontline of the fight against Covid-19.
