Vote for Kovsie alumna, Thato Mosehle, as she competes as one of the Miss SA 2020 top 15 semi-finalists.
UFS alumni are known for thriving and standing out among their peers. Twenty-five-year-old Dr Thato Mosehle is no exception, as she competes for the crown as one of this year’s top 15 contenders for the 2020 Miss South Africa title.
“I’m so grateful to be part of the top 15 semi-finalists for Miss SA 2020! Words cannot describe looking forward to the journey ahead, to grow, to learn, to help, and to inspire,” shared Thato after the announcement was made on the official Miss SA social-media channels.

Prof. Lochner Marais, from the Centre for Development Support at the University of the Free State (UFS), recently delivered his inaugural lecture on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. The title of the lecture was: "Dweller control: The missing link in South African housing policy". According to Prof. Marais the concept of dweller control has not been adequately translated into policy. “Very few people have any say in the planning, design and cost implications of their housing units. If the housing process does not make provision for dweller control and the management thereof, people will not appreciate what the state has given them. There is too much state involvement and control," said Prof. Marais. Here are, from the left: Prof. Marais, Prof. Teuns Verschoor, Acting Rector of the UFS, Prof. Lucius Botes, head of the Centre for Development Support, and Prof. Tienie Crous, Acting Vice-Rector: Academic Operations at the UFS.
