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\/d0f6794eb91245cc94079033af54f658.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":57316,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/saps-need-assistance-in-tracing-rape-suspect-20220914-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":57660,"position":0},"title":"SAPS need assistance in tracing rape suspect","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"14 September 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"The Galeshewe FCS Unit are investigating a rape case following an incident on an open veld near John Daka in Galeshewe, Kimberley, on Thursday, 8 September.","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\/10dd9a45c590475abbdbc761ed2647ae.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/10dd9a45c590475abbdbc761ed2647ae.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/10dd9a45c590475abbdbc761ed2647ae.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":301674,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/contact-crimes-drop-in-northern-cape-but-attempted-murder-cases-rise\/","url_meta":{"origin":57660,"position":1},"title":"Contact crimes drop in Northern Cape but attempted murder cases rise","author":"Helena Barnard","date":"18 June 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Northern Cape communities fail to protect the vulnerable in society \u2013 women and children \u2013 as 18 women and six children were killed in the period January to March this year.
