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.

Joining Kovsies is a blessing for Hannée van Blerk

Description: Hanee Tags: Hanee

The University of the Free State will be home to Hannée van Blerk, who will travel all the way from Hoërskool Piet Retief, in Kwazulu Natal. She is to enrol in Physiotherapy in 2016.

“I’m looking forward to meeting new people, studying something I’m passionate about, and just having a fun time while doing so (and not have to do geometry homework everyday, of course!). I’m excited to be a proud Kovsie next year. It’s been the university for my parents, aunt, as well as my sister, and being able to carry the tradition of attending this beautiful university is truly a blessing.”
