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).

New SRC elected on UFS Main Campus
2007-08-21
Mr Ben Schoonwinkel, forth-year student in B.Sc. Agric., was elected today as SRC President of the Main Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) for 2007/2008. Mr Schoonwinkel was SRC member for student affairs in 2006/2007.
This year the FF+Kovsies obtained five proportional seats, Sasco three and the DA one. The FF+Kovsies ceded one seat to the DA, while Sasco maintained its position.
Where the election on individual basis (first-past-the-post) is concerned, the FF+Kovsies obtained all nine seats – the same as last year.
The SRC election had more or less the same pattern than last year. Altogether
6 820 students voted while 6 353 students voted in 2006.
