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\/71e7cf3e-df22-4a18-a_71470.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":300547,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/strawwe-mededinging-beleef-tydens-wesgrow-sentrale-skole-sportreeks\/","url_meta":{"origin":80164,"position":0},"title":"Strawwe mededinging beleef tydens Wesgrow Sentrale Skole Sportreeks","author":"Noordkaap Bulletin","date":"22 May 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Die Wesgrow Sentrale Skole Sportreeks is in volle swang, met die Ho\u00ebrskool Diamantveld wat die naweek teen Ho\u00ebrskool Jim Fouch\u00e9 meeding.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Schools&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Schools","link":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/school\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"Die Ho\u00ebrskool Diamantveld se eerstenetbalspan, met afrigters Bethenie du Raan en Michelle Boshoff.","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HSDV1enetbalspanvsFH_03497.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HSDV1enetbalspanvsFH_03497.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HSDV1enetbalspanvsFH_03497.jpg?resize=525%2C300&ssl=1 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HSDV1enetbalspanvsFH_03497.jpg?resize=700%2C400&ssl=1 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/HSDV1enetbalspanvsFH_03497.jpg?resize=1050%2C600&ssl=1 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":266134,"url":"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/unbeaten-streaks-continue-as-top-school-rugby-teams-shine-at-craven-week\/","url_meta":{"origin":80164,"position":1},"title":"Unbeaten streaks continue as top school rugby teams shine at Craven Week","author":"Novus Media","date":"10 July 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"The third day of action at the prestigious FNB U18 Craven Week delivered spectacular rugby entertainment at the Middelburg High School on Wednesday, 9 July, with South Western Districts (SWD) Eagles and DHL Western Province XV maintaining their perfect tournament records.
