The ITP shows the commitment of the UFS to widen the scope and radically accelerate transformation at the university.

A public exhibition during the Vrystaat Arts Festival will ensure that the review process and the statue itself remains the topic of informed intellectual conversations during the time allotted for public consultation regarding this statue.
