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.

- 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!

The Shimlas of the University of the Free State (UFS) played their fourth match in the FNB Varsity Cup against the Maties at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch this week.
The Shimlas gave the Maties a real fright at first, with a score of 14-15 at half-time. In the second half, however, the Maties started fighting back and ended up winning their home match 31-15.
The Shimlas are now getting ready to give their all at their home match next week. Coach Jaco Swanepoel and his team will undoubtedly impress in the match against the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) on Monday, 1 March at Shimla Park at 18:30.
