Celebrating our female voice – Voices from the Free State

02 August 2021 | Story Dr Nitha Ramnath | Photo Supplied

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.

More achievements for UFS Debating Society

2012-07-23

The UFS Debate Society represented the university well at the National Universities Debating Championships. The tournament, dubbed Kgorong 2012, was hosted at the Turfloop Campus of the University of Limpopo from 4 to 11 July 2012.

The UFS team took on university teams from across the country and six of the eight speakers representing Kovsies made it through the preliminary rounds. Four Kovsie speakers went as far as the semi-finals.

Two members of the team, Zola Valashiya and Mhlanganisi Madlongolwana, were ranked amongst the top ten speakers in the English First Language division and Jonathan Ruwanika was ranked amongst the top ten speakers for the English Second Language division.

The five adjudicators on the team of thirteen also did well. Richard Chemaly received an award for adjudicating the final debate. The team is now preparing for the Pan-African Championships, which will be hosted by the Tshwane University of Technology in December.
