#TsekCorona! is a music video with a positive stay-at-home message from South Africa during the country's Covid-19 lockdown. It features rewritten lyrics to the hit song "Welcome to Cape Town" by original writer, David Kramer.
#TsekCorona! is performed by the KaapKreools Collective featuring Emo Adams and Loukmaan Adams (vocals), David Kramer (guitar), Schalk Joubert (bass), Camillo Lombard (keys), Donveno Prins (sax) and Tim Rankin (percussion).
The video is produced by Cape Town Music Academy NPC (CTMA) and supported by the Suidooster Festival.
It also features footage of Cape Town celebrities and members of the public dancing in isolation in their homes in support of the stay-at-home message. All footage was shot on mobile phones and the instruments and voices were recorded individually by the artists.

Edited by Izette Mostert and mixed by Tim Rankin.
Lyrics by David Kramer, music by Taliep Petersen.

Lyrics:
#TsekCorona! (Welcome to Cape Town)

Please don't visit Cape Town
our city is in lockdown
No one to meet in these lonely streets
Cape Town has shut down

Almal is nou platsak
Kaapstad voel soos Slaapstad
Daarsie dop innie grocery shop
die hele wêreld het gestop

Welcome to Cape Town
feels like a ghost town
Can'tt walk your dog or jog
Cape Town has shut down

Antie Rhona voetsek
pack your bags don't come back
We don't like you, corona flu
so here's what we will do:

We'll keep on smiling and dancing on our own
Please stay home day and night
then Cape Town wins the fight!

Welcome to Cape Town in isolation
Here's what we think of you:
corona flu se moer!

We'll keep on smiling and dancing on our own
Please stay home day and night
then Cape Town wins the fight!

Welcome to Cape Town in isolation
Here's what we think of you:
corona flu se moer!
