NCC also ended third on the log in the three day competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloete has received numerous awards and was named man of the match on various occasions for hitting monster sixes, his excellent bowling performance and his all-round performance with bat and ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other new signing is Andrew Rasemene who is a fast bowler from Limpopo. The coaches are very keen to see him play cricket at this level because of his express pace. His figures in an innings is 4\/44 with a match return of 6\/69 against the Central Gauteng Strikers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NCC also took the opportunity to wish Jacques Snyman well, who has signed for the VKB Knights. The union also thanked Avumile Mnci for his contributions for the past two seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deon Carolus, assistant coach of NCC, spoke about his hopes for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am very excited about the squad that has been assembled for the new season. We have good experienced players, some youngsters and most of these players have over time played either for the SA u.19, SA Emerging and SA Invitational teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur bowling attack has a nice balance of pace bowlers, right and left arm, and spin bowlers,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Northern Cape squad for the 2020-\u201921 season is: Aubrey Swanepoel, Beyers Swanepoel, Kagisho Mohale, Ernest Kemm, Blake Schraader, Desmond de Koker, Garnett Tarr, Gerrit Cloete, Mqaleni Nangamso, Andrew Rasemene and Clyde

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)
