With everything that is changing around us in these challenging times, you can rely on us to put your needs at the heart of everything we do. As circumstances require you and your loved ones to spend more time at home, we remain committed to supporting you with the best available programming, to keep you and your family entertained and informed. As we all adjust to new ways of living, you can trust us to be your constant companion wherever you are.
In light of the disruptions to the school year in some markets, we are working to give you access to the best available educational content, to help keep young minds stimulated and engaged.
We will provide you with broad access to credible information at this time, by making news channels more widely available across the continent. We have been in constant communication with health authorities such as the World Health Organisation, and we will be rolling out an Africa-wide public service announcement on Covid-19. It is important that all of us take heed of the announcements and advice from trusted experts so that we can look after our own health and that of our loved ones
