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\/29a7c1e82ba8466b830ac2c2a94b6a78.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":49483,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/results-in-the-making-20231212-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":49541,"position":0},"title":"Results in the making","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"14 December 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"A total of 930 markers and 200 examination assistants are converging in Kimberley until 23 December for the final hurdle of the 2023 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":55741,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/matric-exam-marking-centres-opened-in-nc-20221207\/","url_meta":{"origin":49541,"position":1},"title":"Matric exam marking centres opened in NC","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"7 December 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"The final stage of the 2022 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations was reached with the official opening of three marking centres in Kimberley on Wednesday, 7 December.","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\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/16ecdfad314e45c9adcc7bc14f11d215.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":295196,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/school\/nearly-200-000-matric-scripts-in-marking-process-in-northern-cape\/","url_meta":{"origin":49541,"position":2},"title":"Nearly 200 000 matric scripts in marking process in Northern Cape","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"3 December 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"The marking of matric answer scripts commenced on Monday 1 December.
