Safety comes first, fun festive second.
Safety never takes a holiday. The University of the Free State’s Department of Protection Services wishes the Kovsie community happy and safe holidays.
Heed these tips when travelling, away on holiday or in the street.
- Be aware of your surroundings and any suspicious-looking persons or behaviour (especially in queues);
- Report any suspicious behaviour or activity to the central security on-site or the South African Police Services;
- Be alert when leaving shopping centres. Should you suspect that you are being followed, drive to the nearest police station;
- Jamming devices are frequently used by criminals, so ensure that your vehicle is locked by physically checking it before leaving;
- All valuables must be safely stowed away in the boot or under the seats in order to avoid smash and grab incidents;
- Do not leave your handbags or valuables unattended while shopping; and
- Obey the rules of the road and carry your driver’s licence with you.Happy holidays! Enter 2020 safe and secure!

Twenty five intermediate and students in the further education and training phase from the School of Education at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently completed a Family Math and Family Science programme, presented by the Centre for Education Development (CED). The students did the programme in order to complete the practical component of their community-service learning module. In order to qualify, each student, in addition to the contact sessions, also had to organise and present one Family Math and one Family Science community workshop. The training was sponsored by Old Mutual. Here are, from the left: Ms Lorraine Botha, Programme Facilitator at CED, Ms Elizna Prinsloo, Project Co-ordinator at CED, Tsehla Tsiboho, student, Maurese Myburgh, Kenyaditswe Maele, Megan Keyzer and Chin-Wen Tsai, all students from the School of Education at the UFS.
