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\/e08d7630612634c4a5ced5db09b6608f","name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-ZA","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/a99daa5b340dd77d269e8375259ff19cc6329797ffcecb12b900fcfff3ce0bea?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Noordkaap Bulletin"},"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/author\/noordkaapbulletin\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Bike-stolen.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":297253,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/armed-robbery-suspects-arrested-at-major-inter-provincial-roadblock\/","url_meta":{"origin":294356,"position":0},"title":"Armed robbery suspects arrested at major inter-provincial roadblock","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"27 February 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Two suspects were arrested during a roadblock for possessing stolen mobile phones and a toy gun, linked to recent robberies.","rel":"","context":"In "Community"","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Arrest at roadblock","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/d9e16a92-3f35-48a7-b5b6-11fab0619393-1.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]}],"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"Noordkaap Bulletin","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294356"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=294356"},{"taxonomy":"publication","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication?post=294356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
