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 Management of the University of the Free State (UFS) hereby confirms that Prof. Ezekiel Moraka, Vice-Rector: External Relations, has not been suspended, as was reported in some of the media since last night.

The UFS Management has communicated to Prof. Moraka its intention to suspend him, based on allegations of misconduct brought to the attention of Management.

As a result, the UFS has granted this request and has placed Prof. Moraka on special leave in order for him to prepare his submission.

A final decision regarding the suspension will only be made once the UFS has considered Prof. Moraka's submission.

The UFS confirms that the due process of the law is adhered to in all labour processes.
