Certain venues will also host a Shavathon on Sunday (27\/02). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to launch our Be Uniquely You \u2013 Be Colourful campaign,\u201d says Maria Scholtz, CANSA head of sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShaving your hair \u2013 or spraying it in a multitude of colours \u2013 costs R50 per adult and R25 for children younger than 12. Many South Africans take part on behalf of a loved one who is living with cancer or has been lost to cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stencils are available to those who wish to add extra flair when spraying their hair. The spray, made of vegetable dye, is safe to use and comes out after one wash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who shave their hair can donate their locks to make wigs for cancer survivors. A limited-edition badge of honour will be given to those who make hair donations of 25 cm or longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CANSA headwear will be sold for R50 per item. Proceeds will go directly towards providing CANSA\u2019s care and support services to cancer patients and their loved ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-host-an-event\"><strong>Host an event<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Those wishing to host their own Shavathon to raise funds for CANSA can schedule their event from Monday (28\/02) to 4 March. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interested parties can register and order Shavathon products through the CANSA Online Shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-raise-funds-online\"><strong>Raise funds online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants are invited to open an online fundraising page before participating in a Shavathon event. This will give people the opportunity to show extra support to cancer survivors by making an online donation before shaving or spraying their hair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBe sure to share your online fundraising efforts on your social media platforms, using the hashtag #CANSAShavathon, in the weeks leading up to your participation,\u201d Scholtz says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province.

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)
