08 February 2019 | Story Lacea Loader

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.

Enrico Acker, scrumhalf of the FNB Shimlas, has been named as the FNB Varsity Cup’s best back of the series.

Earlier in the series, during the FNB Shimlas’ victory over the TUT, Enrico was named as the match’s Player that Rocks. Soon afterwards the Free State Vodacom Cup team announced that they wanted him.

In reaction to this, Enrico said that he would like to finish his season with the FNB Shimlas. “I have come a very long way with them and would like to be involved in the semi-finals, as well as, if we get the opportunity, in the finals,” he says.

Keep a lookout for the match times of our residences league on the Student Portal and come and support the men.
