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.

The Centre for Education Development (CED) in the Faculty of Education at the University of the Free State recently held a prize-giving ceremony on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein to honour six matriculants who performed exceptionally well in Mathematics in their final examinations in 2008. Three of them, Matshediso Mothibi, Soyiso Khethoa and Makae Maema from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates for achieving symbol C while Chumo Loyiso Madadasana from Springfontein Secondary School, Themba Mdwaba and Morapedi Mokheseng also from Trompsburg Secondary School, received certificates, trophies and R10 000 bursaries each for getting distinctions. These top achievers were part of the Investec-sponsored Investec / RIEP Southern Free State Project which started in 2006. The acronym RIEP stands for Research Institute for Education Planning which is now the CED. Pictured are, from the left: Mdwaba, Khethoa, Mothibi, Mokheseng and Makae.
