The Kovsies Multilingual Mokete (festival) is an initiative of the University of the Free State (UFS) to promote multilingualism.  

The Mokete includes and celebrates different cultural expressions – in visual art, poetry, storytelling, drama, music, and song – by different language groups and in the different languages that are dominant at the UFS (i.e. English, Afrikaans, Sesotho, isiZulu, and Sign Language).
