The first-year groups of House Soetdoring and House Veritas were announced as this year’s Stagedoor winners. Soetdoring and Veritas beat seventeen other campus and city residences to be crowned as the best male and female residences in this music-theatre competition.

With residence honour at stake, nineteen residences started out in the competition, which is one of the highlights on the UFS’ art and culture calendar. Following rotations at the various residences, thirteen residences advanced to the final rounds.

In a crowded Kovsie Church, superheroes, domestic workers, nuns and traffic officers shared a stage in the finals to join in the theme ‘LIKE A BOSS.’ At the end there were only two winners: Soetdoring and Veritas.

House Marjolein was named runner-up in the female category, followed by House NJ van der Merwe. House Villa Bravado was the runner-up in the male category, followed by House JBM Hertzog.
