Devina Harry Kader Asmal Fellowship
The UFS’ Devina Harry was accepted into the Kader Asmal Fellowship Programme.
The UFS’ own Devina Harry is set to travel to Ireland in September 2020 to begin a year-long Fellowship Programme for a Master of Business. As one of 20 students selected from the African continent, Devina was recently accepted into the Kader Asmal Fellowship Programme, which affords her the opportunity to study in Ireland during the 2020/21 academic year.

A research assistant in the Department of Business Management, Devina holds an Honours in Marketing. “I am very grateful to be awarded this scholarship and excited about this new journey,” says Devina, who is scheduled to begin the programme in October 2020. “I hope to come back to South Africa and contribute to my field of study,” she says.

Devina went through a rigorous application process and had to meet the criteria for selection, one of which is having a minimum average grade point of 75% for her honours.

Prof Brownhilder Nene, Head of Department: Business Management, gave Devina some words of encouragement: “You will never know how far you can go unless you try. Thank you, Devina, for stepping out of your comfort zone and getting this scholarship.” 

The Kader Asmal Fellowship Programme is a South African strand of a broader Ireland-Africa Fellows Programme managed by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. It was set up in 2012 in honour of the late Professor Kader Asmal, and is a fully-funded scholarship opportunity for those who want to develop skills and knowledge to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in South Africa.

Kovsie-driemanskap oorheers die mans-afdeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse pluimbalkampioenskap.
2004-10-15

Die Kovsie-driemanskap, Chris en Roelof Dednam en Wiaan Viljoen, saam met hul ervare spanmaat, Johan Kleingeld, oorheers, soos verwag is, totaal die mans-afdeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse pluimbalkampioenskap.

Chris Dednam het sy nasionale enkelspeltitel suksesvol verdedig deur onder andere Kleingeld in die half-eindronde 15-2, 15-3, en Viljoen in die eindronde met 15-5, 15-0, te klop. Hy het ook die dubbelspeltitel behou, die keer saam met broer Roelof, deur Viljoen en Dorian James (WP) in die eindronde met 17-16, 15-7, te verslaan. In die gemengde dubbelspel wou die kombinasie nie vlot nie, en is hy en Antoinette Uys (Bol) in die half-eindronde uitgeskakel.

Roelof Dednam het benewens die dubbelspeltitel (sy eerste senior nasionale titel), in die enkelspel die half-eindronde gehaal waar hy naelskraap in drie stelle teen Viljoen verloor het. Hy het ook in die gemengde dubbelspel die half-eindronde gehaal.

Wiaan Viljoen het benewens die eindrondes in enkelspel en dubbelspel die kwart-eindronde van die gemengde dubbelspel gehaal.
