Two sisters, Ms Elsabi Bezuidenhoudt and Ms Isabel Human, both received their master's degree in Governance and Political Transformation during this week's autumn graduation ceremony of the University of the Free State (UFS). Dr Tania Coetzee, Director of the programme Governance and Political Transformation, was the study leader to both. The subject of Ms Bezuidenhoudt’s thesis was “Apartheid and political transformation as ideologies: Differences and similarities”. Ms Human’s thesis was titled “The role of labour unions in a transformational tertiary environment: A critical analysis of the University of the Free State”. Both of them are working at the UFS. Ms Bezuidenhoudt works at the division Meeting Administration and Ms Human works at the Department Zoology and Entomology.
