The following is a synopsis of information received of the day\u2019s events in the Northern Cape:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The police\u2019s Provincial Corporate Communication team delivered soup, bread, fruit and goodies for more than 120 patients from across the province to the Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe Hospital in Kimberley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acting CEO of the hospital, Dr Esm\u00e9 Olivier, said patients come from all over the province, and some travel long distances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne can only imagine how tired they are when they arrive at the hospital for treatment, and you will also find that some of them haven\u2019t had breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Kimberley\u2019s Flamingo Casino\u2019s internal Tin Spin project, staff members donated non-perishable food and nominated Woman to Woman and Destiny House to receive these goods, alongside three needy households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 794 items, and another 488 items from the Responsible Gambling Foundation Gauteng, were handed over to the selected charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe feel inspired by the work Women to Women do. They stand up against gender-based violence and say \u2018enough is enough\u2019,\u201d said Themba Marasha, Flamingo Casino\u2019s general manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have also supported Destiny House, who take in children who have been removed from abusive and drug related homes, to provide them with a safe and nurturing shelter \u2013 and our contribution will help fill hungry tummies,\u201d Marasha said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three households were chosen from staff nominations, ranging from elderly battling to feed and school children, a home where siblings are trying to school their youngest, and a family of five battling to school its two youngest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kumba Iron Ore\u2019s Sishen Mine activated two campaigns to make a direct impact in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a procession composed of Sishen\u2019s leadership and the mine\u2019s general manager, Andr\u00e9 Roux, the day\u2019s activities began in Mapoteng, where 70 vulnerable households identified by the Department of Social Development, received a voucher of R1 000 each to help them weather the cold winter conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made up of the mostly elderly recipients on the day, the campaign recognised the need to aid vulnerable groups within society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSishen Mine sees its 70th year in operation in 2023. Today we wanted to show the mine\u2019s grace, growth and generosity to our people,\u201d says corporate affairs and social performance manager, George Benjamin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also the Kathu Taxi Rank received an intense clean-up and revitalisation exercise, that saw local partners which included the mayor of the Gamagara Municipality, Henri\u00ebtte du Plessis, and the municipal manager, Lebogang Seetile, joining in on the effort to make the space comfortable for the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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)
