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.

Intervarsity get-together in Potch
2005-07-26

The largest and most enjoyable Kovsie get-together of all times will be held in Potchefstroom on 12 August. Kovsies from everywhere will attend the Kovsie Intervarsity Reunion in Potchefstroom so that everybody can know, once and for all, that the UFS’s Shimlas are better than the PUKKE. The reunion will be held at the Clubhouse of the Potchefstroon Town Rugby Club at Olien Park at 18:30 on Friday 12 August (and for those with real stamina the whole weekend long).

The cost of R65 per person includes a delicious barbecued meal. A cash bar will also be available. Most of the other old Kovsies you would like to see again will be there, so do not miss out on this event!
There is also a camping site for caravans and tents are available on the site for those who wish to watch sports events and visit the whole weekend long.  Please feel free to contact Anton Mostert at 082 467 1702 to reserve accommodation.

To book your place, contact Jeannette Boshoff-Jansen at 051-401-3594.

Make sure that you do not miss the Kovsie get-together of the year!!!
