On 26 July 2019, residence students on the Bloemfontein Campus handed a memorandum and petition to the university management regarding the proposed revised residence-placement policy, as well as the maintenance and upkeeping of residences on the campus.

Feedback on the memorandum and petition was yesterday given by Prof Prakash Naidoo, Vice-Rector: Operations, to a group of students who gathered in front of the Main Building.

In the feedback provided by Prof Naidoo, it was indicated that the existing residence-placement policy will continue until a full consultation process on the proposed new placement policy and the existing policy takes place. A commitment was also given that feedback would be provided within 48 hours on matters raised by residents in connection with continuous maintenance, with the necessary indication of completion times. The students were not satisfied with the feedback but decided to deliberate on management's response.

Badminton: Kovsie players rule
2005-07-07

Kovsie players again rule, as in the past three years, the SASSU badminton tournament currently being played at the University of Cape Town.

In the individual championships Chris Dednam gained a hat-trick by winning the men's singles title, the doubles title with Roelof Dednam and the mixed doubles title with Liansa Coetzee.

Roelof also won the silver medal in singles and bronze with Elaine Lues in the mixed doubles.  Even the bronze medal in men's singles was won by another Kovsie, Raymond Ronne, who also won silver in the doubles and bronze in the mixed doubles with Sonè Strauss.

Liansa and Sonè took the silver medal in the women's doubles after a long three-setter final which could have gone their way.  They both also went to the semi-finals of the singles where they were closely beaten.  Elaine Lues and Liezl van Rensburg made it to the quarter-finals of the doubles.

In the annual team competition Kovsies are well on their way to a third consecutive trophy.
