Gender-based violence is generally a major concern in the country and the university in particular. Kovsies have a zero-tolerance towards any acts of violence.
We encourage the UFS community to break the silence so that perpetrators are brought to book. To abusers, we say: stop the violence! One of our students opens up about her experience in the video below.
We encourage others to Report gender-based violence, Sexual Harassment and any act of prejudice or discrimination to the Sexual Assault Response Team on
+27 51 401 7777 or
+27 0 80 020 4682 (24 hour toll free).

The Wellness Committee at the University of the Free State (UFS) presents a wellness programme on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein today and tomorrow. The theme is "Go for gold" and the topics to be discussed include how to make stress work for you, the importance of exercising and the importance of a healthy diet. Later this week staff will take part in a fun walk and volley ball competition.
As part of the programme staff are given the opportunity to get among others, their blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure tested. Seated from the left are Ms Lorraine Meintjies (nurse from Discovery), Prof Niel Viljoen (Chief Director: Operations at the UFS). Standing from the left are Dr Louis Holtzhausen (Director: UFS Sport and Exercise Science Medicine Clinic) and Dr Tiesie de Coning (motivational speaker).
