Nominations: Executive Committee (EXCOM) of Convocation

22 May 2020

The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.

We wish to congratulate the following four officials (in alphabetical order) with their election to the Excom of the Convocation:

1. Dr Pieter Bettings
2. Ms Ntombi Nhlapo
3. Mr Ntakuseni Razwiedani
4. Ms Nokuthula Sithole

A meeting of the Excom of the Convocation will be scheduled to discuss the one remaining vacancy in the Excom.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in this process as well for their interest in, and commitment to the University and its affairs.

Received from: The Registrar and the President of the Convocation

UFS continues its consultation process

2009-10-27

The management of the University of the Free State (UFS) is continuing its consultation process with different stakeholders on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein today (Wednesday, 28 October 2009).

This consultation process is a result of a decision by Prof. Jonathan Jansen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor, to continue discussions around the Reitz matter, which was announced earlier this week.

The first meeting took place with Adv. Mothusi Lepheana of the Human Rights Commission on behalf of the five workers. Adv. Lepheana represents the five workers, as ruled by the court on Monday, 26 October 2009.

During this discussion it was agreed that further processes on the way forward will be announced shortly after the Human Rights Commission has completed its work regarding certain legal issues within the case.

Meetings with other stakeholders, including staff and students, will be taking place continuously.
