The University of the Free State (UFS) offers its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased student who was killed at the Durban University of Technology (DUT) during a protest action on the Steve Biko Campus on 5 February 2019.

The UFS condemns the use of firearms and undue force against protesting students.

 The university’s executive management supports the plight of students at institutions of higher education around the country, encouraging the use of engagement and dialogue to resolve issues between students and university leadership at all times. We hope that these issues can be resolved amicably and to the benefit of all higher education institutions, as well as to the benefit of the country.

A doctoral student from the University of the North, Ms Hilda Mokoboki, has completed a very successful three month visit to the University of the Free State's (UFS) Department of Chemistry to receive training in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and advanced chromatography.

Organic Chemistry at the UFS has an international reputation in structure elucidation of secondary metabolites with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The Department of Chemistry has started an initiative to make this expertise available to other researchers. At least two publications in Botany will result from Ms Mokoboki's visit.
