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.

- 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!

The Faculty of Theology has handed over a cheque of R4 300 to the No Student Hungry campaign. Prof. Francois Tolmie, the Dean of the faculty, says it is important to him and his staff that students do not go hungry. The amount is made up of donations from staff in the faculty.
René Pelser from Student Affairs, who handed over the cheque, says the university’s aim is to collect 200 000 “bites” this year (a “bite” equals one meal for a student). Others on campus who have contributed are Veritas and Accommodation Services. Kovsie Culture is to launch projects to collect funds.
Staff, faculties and departments can contact René on x9087 if they want to contribute to the NSH campaign.
