The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic provides the Public Relations and Communication Management industry with an opportunity to combine expertise and networks thus assisting government in its efforts of containing the virus and taking South Africans through this testing time.

It is in times like these where communication often becomes a challenge. While government’s frequent communication efforts on the outbreak are commendable, there are several opinions coming from a range of stakeholders.

The pandemic is of a global nature, as a result handling it as a crisis, running campaigns, crafting consistent messages and dissemination thereof requires the accuracy and seriousness it deserves.    

Please join us in setting up support networks to address issues within our own circles of influence.
