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.
Former students Cobus Muller and Charl Blom withdraw claims against UFS
2015-12-02
Former students Cobus Muller and Charl Blom without any explanation withdrew their claims for contractual damages against the University of the Free State (UFS) in the amount of R1 million each, last week.
This comes after a letter of demand was addressed to Prof Jonathan Jansen, Vice-Chancellor and Rector of the UFS, on 5 March 2015 in which Muller and Blom claimed R 5 150 000.00 each in compensation from the UFS. The claim was rejected. Thereafter Muller and Blom issued a summons in which they claimed R1 million each for alleged contractual damages suffered.
Muller and Blom have tendered the full wasted costs as a result of the claims that were withdrawn. The former students intend to proceed with the remaining claims. These claims will likewise be opposed by the UFS.
The university management does not intend commenting on the withdrawal in the media. The futile attempts by Muller and Blom to claim what was not due to them, speaks for itself.
