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\/03\/1f37ff1cd3834ea59f836fd0be678d46.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":46698,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/nc-learners-rise-at-nationals-20240618-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":46677,"position":0},"title":"NC learners rise at nationals","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"20 June 2024","format":false,"excerpt":"Two Gr. 11 learners of the Kimberley Technical High School (THS) emerged victorious at the recent 2024 South African Youth Water Prize competition, where they received second position for their impactful innovation called \u201cEco-Flow\u201d.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8b8bd5e75d9a40cc9dfc969b776c95c8.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8b8bd5e75d9a40cc9dfc969b776c95c8.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8b8bd5e75d9a40cc9dfc969b776c95c8.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8b8bd5e75d9a40cc9dfc969b776c95c8.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":43586,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/securing-a-place-in-national-competition-20250304\/","url_meta":{"origin":46677,"position":1},"title":"Learners from Kimberley securing a place in national competition","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"7 March 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Securing a place in national competition","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Community&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Community","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/community\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Learners busy during the competition.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d2b429a7aaf4c05b6013b843fe0a860.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d2b429a7aaf4c05b6013b843fe0a860.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d2b429a7aaf4c05b6013b843fe0a860.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d2b429a7aaf4c05b6013b843fe0a860.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2d2b429a7aaf4c05b6013b843fe0a860.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":301174,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/matriculant-of-the-year-competition-cultivates-leadership-and-opportunities\/","url_meta":{"origin":46677,"position":2},"title":"Matriculant of the Year | Competition cultivates leadership and opportunities","author":"Madr\u00e9 Marais","date":"4 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"This competition, presented by the University of the Free State (UFS) and Novus Media, helps matric learners develop the qualities they need to succeed.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"From left are Bertie Haasbroek (chairperson of the Kovsie Alumni Trust), Burgert van Heerden (finalist 2025) and Karla Marais (finalist 2024).
