Edward Kieswetter, newly appointed SARS Commissioner.
The Chairperson of the Council of the University of the Free State (UFS), Mr Willem Louw, extended a message of congratulations to Mr Edward Kieswetter on his appointment by President Cyril Ramaphosa this week as Commissioner of the South African Revenue Service (SARS).
Mr Kieswetter served as Deputy Chairperson of the UFS Council from 2008 to 2014 and was Visiting Professor at the university’s Business School until 2018.
“On behalf of the Council and the university community, I wish Mr Kieswetter well in his work as newly appointed SARS Commissioner. It is evident that the high-level selection panel made an exceptionally good choice for this crucial position. Mr Kieswetter’s vast experience as former SARS deputy commissioner, his subsequent track record of transformative leadership, and his experience in turning around a large institution will serve him well in this new role,” says Mr Louw.

| Of all the players from the different universities who played in the recent 2010 FNB Varsity Cup tournament, a Kovsie, Boom Prinsloo walked off with the overall Player-that-Rocks Award after being voted as the Player of the 2010 FNB Varsity Cup presented by Steinhoff International. In three of Shimlas’s eight matches this star No.8 was named player of the match for his high work rate on attack as well as strong defence. This earned him three man-of-the-match wards. With his seven touchdowns, including four against NMMU, he and Lola Waka from the University of Johannesburg also jointly ended up as top try-scorers of the tournament. Boom picked up R15 000 for his efforts and can feel well-satisfied with his hard work this season. |
