In this special Women’s Month edition of the Voices from the Free State podcast series, we elevate and celebrate our female voices.

Likeleli Monyamane takes us through her journey as a student at the UFS. Founder of Inspire Innovation Business Consultants, Likeleli is a chartered accountant based in Lesotho, with a deep passion for skills development and mentorship.

A passion for evidence-based medicine and the notion of value in healthcare is what drives Dr Anchen Laubscher. Anchen is driven to ensure that healthcare is scientifically 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.

Enjoy these inspiring stories here as we celebrate our female voices from the Voices from the Free State podcast series.

Kovsie men’s football team top of the league

2011-03-13

The Kovsie men’s football team in action.

Things are looking very positive for the Kovsies men’s football team at the University of the Free State (UFS) this year as they are ranking first in the SAB regional league.

From the 23 matches – out of 30 matches – the team has won 16 matches, drawn 5 and lost 2 matches in the league. The Kovsies team beat the Central University of Technology team (2-1 on home turf and 1-0 with the away game). They also beat the Thaba Nchu All Stars with 4-1 the past weekend on home ground.

“This coming weekend we will play against the league contenders, MUPS United from Ladybrand, currently second in the league. The match will take place at the Arthur Pitso Stadium on Sunday,” said sport manager at Kovsie Sport, Nomsa Mahlangu.

The Kovsie team will later in this league also compete against the Leeds United and the Junior Mates from Dewetsdorp.

“We are hoping to not drop any points in order to gain advancement to the Vodacom provincial league. If we win this league we will be promoted to the provincial league, which is only two steps away from the professional league. It is our dream to play professional league football,” said Nomsa.
