Stay hydrated at all times, but only water and non alcoholic drink.

With the upcoming festive season around the corner, you will either be going home or taking a well-deserved vacation. To arrive at your given destination, road transport will be required at some stage of your journey.

Here is a reminder of the basic road rules:

1. Focus on the road and ditch the cellphone – it is illegal to use your cellphone while driving
2. Rather stay hydrated with water and non-alcoholic drinks, because drinking and driving is prohibited
3. Keep to the speed limit. Speed kills
4. Whether you are a driver or passenger, make sure that you update friends and family about your whereabouts
5. Take frequent breaks to refresh. Fatigue is dangerous.

Travel safely and happy holidays!

The Department of Zoology and Entomology is celebrating its 100th year of existence and several local charity outreach projects will be incorporated into the activities associated with the celebrations during 2012.

The first project, the Amigo Project in partnership with 4Claws, is aiming to provide housing for 100 dogs in rural settlements around Bloemfontein. The first leg of the project took place on Saturday 19 May 2012, with 25 kennels distributed in the Phase 3.

In addition to housing, food, feeding bowls, collars, leashes and blankets were also handed out to the local residents.

If you would like to contribute to this worthy cause, please contact Miss Lindi Heyns at heynsl@ufs.ac.za.
