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.

UFS to proceed with appealing to Supreme Court of Appeal regarding new Language Policy

2016-09-29

The University of the Free State (UFS) has been granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeal against the High Court ruling setting aside the multilingual language policy adopted by Senate and Council in March 2016.

The university has asked the Supreme Court of Appeal for an expedited date for the hearing of the matter. The university had also asked the Constitutional Court for permission to bring its appeal directly to this court.

The Constitutional Court has, however, indicated that the appeal is not to be heard by the court 'at this stage'. The UFS is accordingly taking all the required steps for a hearing by the Supreme Court of Appeal first.

Further developments will be reported.
