Dr Ilunga Kalasa (35) is accused of raping a 17-year-old patient at his surgery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mojalefa Senokoatsane, the regional spokesperson of the National Prosecution Authority, said it is alleged that on Monday (15\/08) the victim went to the accused\u2019s surgery for a medical consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the medical examination, it is alleged that the accused raped the complainant.&nbsp;She left the surgery, and informed her aunt the following morning about the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A case was opened with the police and the accused was arrested and charged with rape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kalasa is remanded in custody until his next appearance on Monday (22\/08) where he is expected to formally make his intention to apply for bail. Investigations led by the police are continuing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Tuesday (16\/08) the 33-year-old Koleen Job was found guilty of murder in the Britstown Regional Court, and was sentenced to 15 years jail sentence.\u00a0Last year on 21 October, Job and a 46-year-old male were drinking at a friend\u2019s house in Proteaville, Britstown. An argument broke out and Job stabbed the deceased once in the chest.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Lt. Col Sergio Kock of the SAPS Media Centre in the Northern Cape, said the man died on the scene and Job was arrested.&nbsp;Brig. Nicky Mills, the acting deputy provincial commissioner for Crime Detection, commended Detective Sgt Petrus Arnold of the Britstown Detectives Unit for his investigation that led to this sentence for murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Thursday (18\/08) Basa Mkhontwana was sentenced to six years imprisonment in the Colesberg Regional Court on two counts of housebreaking with the intent to steal and common assault.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Kock said on 2 June last year Mkhontawana broke into the house of a 53-year-old female. He also tried to pin her down on the bed but she managed to escape and inform the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mkhontwana was arrested, leading to jail sentence for his criminal deeds, Kock said.&nbsp;Mills commended Detective Const. AR Blouw of the Kuyasa Detectives Unit for his investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>On Tuesday (16\/08) members of the SAPS in Paballelo, Upington, arrested two men on separate cases of illegal selling of liquor, for being an undocumented person, resisting arrest and dealing in dagga.\u00a0The members searched a tuck shop following information received about alleged illegal selling of liquor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sgt Omphile Masegela, Upington Corporate Communication officer, said upon searching the premises, alcohol to the value of R3\u2009100 was confiscated. A 29-year-old suspect, found to be an undocumented national, was also charged for resisting an arrest.&nbsp;The members searched another house and discovered dagga with an estimated value of R32\u2009438.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged with dealing in dagga. Both suspects will appear in court soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_b5ea90bb\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img

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)
