UFS Reflections Series webinar: Urban living post-COVID-19

17 August 2020 | Story Nitha Ramnath | Photo istock

Within the next five years, 60% of the world’s population will be living in urban areas. Urban living comes with large-scale economic advantages and society benefits from economies of scale. But, COVID-19 is challenging urban living. We have introduced the term ‘social distancing’ and some policy analysts have even argued for the de-densification of cities.

Join us for a discussion where our panellists will analyse this perceived conflict.

Date: Thursday, 27 August 2020
Time: 14:00 to 15:30 (South African Standard Time – GMT +2)

Please RSVP to Elelwani Mmbadi at mmbadiE@ufs.ac.za no later than 25 August, upon which you will receive a Skype for Business meeting invite and link to access the webinar.

Prof Ivan Turok

Vishuis does it again

2013-04-09

09 April 2013

Steinhoff Vishuis won their third overall and second consecutive title, after winning the 2013 Varsity Cup Residence competition.

Vishuis beat the team of Steinhoff Villagers from NWU-Pukke by 20 points to 16 in the final that was played in Stellenbosch on Monday 8 April 2013.

Previous titles seemingly gave Vishuis the edge as they managed to overturn a 16 to 10 points deficit with only 20 minutes left to play.

There was even more good news for University of the Free State (UFS) rugby supporters.

After a remarkable season, Shimlas’ captain, Oupa Mohoje, also walked away as the 2013 Player That Rocks, which is the Varsity Cup’s equivalent of a player of the tournament award. Mohoje’s performance was widely lauded during the 2013 season, during which he was also the Shimlas’ top try scorer.
