NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. 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\/e231fe4023544a72a4ce1142e6996235.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52580,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/kakamas-rape-suspect-still-at-large-20230718\/","url_meta":{"origin":61090,"position":0},"title":"Kakamas rape suspect still at large","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"18 July 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"The police in Kakamas need the public\u2019s assistance in tracing a rape suspect.","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\/39b74dcf1974437eb435855dd647602e.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":267840,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/woman-viciously-attacked-with-a-hammer-and-raped-in-bothaville\/","url_meta":{"origin":61090,"position":1},"title":"Woman viciously attacked with a hammer and raped in Bothaville","author":"Marti Will","date":"28 July 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"The police in Bothaville are investigating a case wherein a 60-year-old woman was found bleeding profusely from a head injury, and having suffered an incident of rape.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"The police in Bothaville are investigating a case wherein a 60-year-old woman was found bleeding profusely from a head injury, and having suffered an incident of rape.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/SAPS-RAPE.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&ssl=1 4x"},"classes":[]},{"id":263966,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/rapist-of-woman-80-apprehended-by-community-after-falling-asleep-next-to-victim\/","url_meta":{"origin":61090,"position":2},"title":"Rapist of woman (80) apprehended by community after falling asleep next to victim","author":"Elizabeth Giliomee-Rossouw","date":"8 June 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"LUSIKISIKI: Community assistance in Ngcoya locality led to the arrest of a man (28) who fell asleep after raping a woman (80) while she was sleeping with her grandchildren.
