Meet the new KovsieCyberSta team
Meet Georgina and Karabo. #KovsieCyberSistas who are doing it for themselves.

After weeks of audition submissions and campaigning for votes the #KovsieCyberSta Search winners have been selected. For the first time since the launch of the UFS Digital Ambassador programme in 2013 the team comprises an all-girl cast.

Second-years Georgina Mhlahlo and Karabo Lekomanyane,who are studying BCom Marketing and BCom Law, respectively, are very excited about the road ahead. 

Reaching the top five last year did not deter Georgina from entering the competition again this year. Being in front of the camera is nothing new to her and she has a YouTube channel on which she shares her own quirky skits and stories. 

“Expect fun, happiness and unpredictability because we love an unpredictable queen,” says Georgina.

Karabo says she plans on bringing the whole kitchen sink to the #KovsieCyberSta role for the next year. 

Georgina and Karabo are names the Kovsie community will get used to hearing and faces they will be seeing over the next year as the pair report on various campus events through short videos which will be published across UFS social media platforms.

The Shimlas of the University of the Free State (UFS) played their fourth match in the FNB Varsity Cup against the Maties at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch this week.

The Shimlas gave the Maties a real fright at first, with a score of 14-15 at half-time. In the second half, however, the Maties started fighting back and ended up winning their home match 31-15.

The Shimlas are now getting ready to give their all at their home match next week. Coach Jaco Swanepoel and his team will undoubtedly impress in the match against the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) on Monday, 1 March at Shimla Park at 18:30.
