channel 145 as a backing vocalist and is working with an international worship artist, Jonathan McReynolds, from the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her singing career started at the Vela-Langa Primary School and then she went on to attend the Upington High School where she became a member of Camarata (girls\u2019 choir) from Gr. 8 until Gr. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She\u2019s currently doing her final year in music at the Cape Music Institute in Cape Town. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is doing different genres, but her main focus is gospel, in particular worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trunkelz performed at various occasions

challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Truineveve Beatrice Gunda (22), a graduate of the Upington High School, was recently nominated to participate in a national worship

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\/5cbcb66554a444c5ae0d1e46548317e6.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":61189,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/virus-kortwiek-kompetisie-20200615-2\/","url_meta":{"origin":61160,"position":0},"title":"Virus kortwiek kompetisie","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"18 June 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Volksblad en die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) se Truineveve Beatrice Gunda -kompetisie, wat vanjaar die 40ste keer aangebied sou word, is weens die korona\u00advirus-pandemie van die baan.
