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.

Joining Kovsies is a blessing for Hannée van Blerk
2016-01-11
The University of the Free State will be home to Hannée van Blerk, who will travel all the way from Hoërskool Piet Retief, in Kwazulu Natal. She is to enrol in Physiotherapy in 2016.
“I’m looking forward to meeting new people, studying something I’m passionate about, and just having a fun time while doing so (and not have to do geometry homework everyday, of course!). I’m excited to be a proud Kovsie next year. It’s been the university for my parents, aunt, as well as my sister, and being able to carry the tradition of attending this beautiful university is truly a blessing.”
