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).

State of our campuses: All academic activities at UFS campuses suspended for 11 and 12 October 2016
2016-10-10

Due to violent disruptions at the University of the Free State (UFS) today, all academic activities on the three campuses are suspended for 11 and 12 October 2016.

The suspension of all academic activities on the campuses will ensure time for the university management to engage with stakeholders in order to find a solution to the crisis.

Should a resolution not be reached, all UFS campuses will face complete closure until further notice.
