WATCH: Caxton Local Media shows its colours for CANSA Shavathon
Several Caxton staff members took a seat to get their hair sprayed in all sorts of funky colours to show support for CANSA.
CAXTON Local Media was out in full force today. Their mission was to show the media giant’s solidarity with cancer survivors.
On Friday, March 1, Caxton Local Media staff came out in their numbers to raise funds for The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) by hosting a Shavathon in New Germany.
CANSA Shavathon kicked off last Saturday, February 24 and is in full swing across malls, schools and businesses around the country until March 29.
While it’s Caxton Local Media Durban’s second year hosting the CANSA Shavathon, this is CANSA’s 22nd year. Shavathon is one of the highlights on the CANSA calendar, bringing families, friends and colleagues together in solidarity with cancer survivors, and Caxton Local Media played its part to show that #CaxtonCares.

Group editor of the newspaper, Corrinne Louw, said the event raised R9 470 for the association. “CANSA Shavathon is one of South Africa’s best-loved events in support of a worthy cause. Several Caxton team members took a seat to get their hair sprayed in all sorts of funky colours to show support. Our design manager Quintus Ninebar took the plunge and shaved his hair once again. It was a wonderful day and it was great to see our team not just covering the event but also showing their support. Our sponsors are the real stars of the show though. Oxford Freshmarket Hillcrest, Bluff Meat Supply, BP New Germany Service Centre and Absa Pinetown, thank you,” she said.
