the commencement of Covid-19 duties, the police have been working tirelessly to enforce the regulations and having great success in terms of those who are not following the law. On Sunday, 9 August, members of A-shift under the command of Lt Colonel George Jafta together with SANDF members performed stop and search blockades on the N14 Road between Upington and Olifantshoek. Members randomly checked for illegal items and valid driving documents. Upon search of one of the vehicles, the police requested the driver to produce his driver\u2019s licence. While waiting for the driver to take out his licence, a strong smell of dagga led the police to search the vehicle thoroughly. Two male suspects aged between 28 and 34 were detained at Upington police cells and will this week appear before the court Here is the dagga to the value of R98 546, including six packs of RG cigarettes that was found.

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.
