proven, of high quality, cost-effective, and tailored to a patient’s needs.
Karla’s story is one of determination, and her success is the result of two decades of hard work. Although netball is not a professional sport in South Africa and athletes don’t get paid for it – quitting was never an option for
Karla Pretorius.

The Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, German and French at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently held an informal function during which recognition was given to recipients of bursaries awarded by the Suid-Afrikaanse Vereniging vir Neerlandistiek (SAVN).
This year the UFS are boasting nine bursary winners, of which six are currently busy with their third-year studies, while the other three students are busy with their honours study. According to Prof. Angelique van Niekerk, a lecturer at the department and representative of the SAVN, the bursaries are sponsored by the Nederlandse Taalunie (NTU).
Students with merit in Afrikaans and Dutch who continue their studies in the subject may apply for the bursaries at the SAVN committee countrywide. – Lize du Plessis
