Want jou erf is presies daar waar die halfjackie, pakkie skyfies, braaihoender of ander eetding klaar verorber is, en waar swaartekrag as&#8217;t ware die le\u00eb verpakking uit &#8216;n willose hand dwing.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan oorstroom &#8216;n mangat van &#8216;n hoofrioolpyp, wat knus teen jou huis verbystrek, dae aaneen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wanneer dit uiteindelik ontstop is, loop jy vies-vies en tel die onnoembare goed wat die munisipaliteit uit die rioolpyp gegrawe en net daar gelos het, met dieselfde tang op. Al wil jy nie eens met &#8216;n tang daaraan raak nie.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maar as jy dit nie doen nie, gaan niemand dit doen nie. En sienende blind dit systap.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan word die vuilgoedsakke in die straat, wat een maal &#8216;n week reg oorkant jou hek opgestapel word, eers dae later deur die munisipaliteit afgehaal. Teen daardie tyd is die sakke bykans leeg gekrap, met die rommel omtrent die hele straat en sypaadjie volgewaai. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dan kom jy in woonbuurte en dorpe waar bogenoemde die norm is; waar mense elke dag in sulke omstandighede leef en dit op die oog af aanvaar. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hier is soveel kwessies waaroor &#8216;n mens s\u00f3 vuisvoos voel dat jy jouself opgekrul in &#8216;n hoek bevind: pasi\u00ebnte wat in staatshospitale omkom weens swak sorg en powere infrastruktuur; nepotisme \u2212 nog &#8216;n onbevoegde, of een met &#8216;n ellelange misdaadrekord, in &#8216;n sleutelpos aangestel (gepaardgaande met &#8216;n hengse ampsbenaming en &#8216;n nog groter salarispakket); beloftes van beter omstandighede wat nooit &#8216;n werklikheid word nie; die kontras tussen amptenare met duur Duitse motors en ontwerpersklere, teenoor wanhopige, honger kinders wie se kanse op &#8216;n beter lewe weens korrupsie van hulle weerhou word; infrastruktuur wat uitmekaarval; werkloosheid; al hoe meer haweloses op straat; geweldsmisdaad; gesinsgeweld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die lys is byna eindeloos.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Al is dit hoe moeilik: Tree weg uit jou wegkruiphoek en takel

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty) Ltd","foundingDate":"2025-01-01","vatID":"4100318916","taxID":"2000\/018234\/07","numberOfEmployees":{"@type":"QuantitativeValue","minValue":"51","maxValue":"200"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/#\/schema\/person\/a50765c21ef3c45c021aae194bd0c185","name":"Helena Barnard","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ceac52f88b782072cec675588f5c870c7db001781097c0616b3b2dc868b88ccc?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Helena Barnard"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/helena-barnard\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":300615,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/mening-probeer-ander-perd-as-net-die-een-van-gemaklikheid\/","url_meta":{"origin":268253,"position":0},"title":"MENING | Probeer ander perd as net die een van gemaklikheid","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"21 May 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Terwyl kunsmatige intelligensie en tegnologie moeite minder maak, raak die moderne mens glo al hoe swakker, lui, en minder in staat om uitdagings te hanteer.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Menings | Opinions&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Menings | Opinions","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/menings-opinions\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Hoofartikel: Wat jou laat stop.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Hoofartikel-Copy.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":301237,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/twyfelhoekie-waak-teen-persepsies-wat-die-waarheid-knou\/","url_meta":{"origin":268253,"position":1},"title":"TWYFELHOEKIE | Waak teen persepsies, wat die waarheid knou","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"4 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Wees groter as enige persepsies.
