Cape Town News Update:
Daily YouTube Bulletin Paused For Now
Cape Town News has paused its daily YouTube bulletin for now as part of a wider production and sustainability review. The decision follows months of reduced platform discovery, demonetisation and rising production costs linked to producing a daily video bulletin.
Cape Town News is not closing.
Our verified Western Cape reporting will continue on the website at ctnews.co.za, with updates, articles and local coverage published directly through our newsroom platform. The daily YouTube bulletin helped many viewers discover Cape Town News, and we remain grateful to everyone who watched, commented, shared and supported the show. For now, the website will become the main home of Cape Town News reporting while we review whether the YouTube bulletin can return in a more sustainable format. We will also listen to readers, viewers, sponsors and community supporters over the coming week before making any further decision.
Thank you for standing with Cape Town News.
Cape Town News continues. The daily YouTube bulletin is paused, but the newsroom remains active.

Delivering verified, independent, and locally focused journalism every day.
Today, Cape Town News reaches audiences through our website, YouTube, Spotify, Facebook, and other digital platforms, giving readers and viewers the freedom to follow local news in the way that suits them best.
But real independent journalism is not built on algorithms alone.
It is built on community, trust, and direct reader support.

• Subscribing to our YouTube and Spotify channels
• Following and engaging with Cape Town News on social media
• Sharing our reporting with family, friends, and your community
• Supporting our sponsors, partners, and advertisers
• Making a direct contribution through our donation page
Businesses interested in reaching an engaged Western Cape audience are also invited to explore sponsorship and advertising opportunities with Cape Town News.
Every visit, every share, every subscriber, every sponsor, and every contribution helps keep independent local journalism alive in the Western Cape.
