Every year, the Active Civic Teaching Office (ACT) at the University of the Free State runs the Big Give campaign to raise food, money to buy food, and other forms of assistance for needy students. This year is no different. ACT’s big project is raising money for sanitary pads for students on all three campuses. The project will run throughout Women’s Month, August 2021. Providing menstrual hygiene products to female students empower them to continue their studies in comfort.
Karen Scheepers, Assistant Director: Kovsie Support Services, said: “This year, one of the challenges that have been highlighted is the lack of sanitary wear for students. Therefore, we focus our Big Give campaign this year on addressing this challenge that students are experiencing.”
Be part of the Big Give campaign by donating sanitary pads or money towards this initiative. Donation boxes are ready for donations at all the entrance gates of all three campuses. Your donation will go a long way in helping a deserving student.

Kovsies 7’s, the University of the Free State’s (UFS) rugby sevens team, took part in two Varsity Sport Sevens tournaments (23 and 24 November 2012, and 30 November and 1 December 2012), as well as the USSA Rugby Sevens tournament (26 and 27 November 2012).
Dougie Heymans of KovsieSport says he is proud of the team. “In the three tournaments over a period of ten days, the team was able to win something at each tournament. At the Varsity Sports 7’s at Plettenberg Bay, the team won the plate competition. At the USSA tournament at George, they were placed third.”
The highlight of the series of matches played was when Kovsies won the Varsity Sports 7’s Tournament at Margate.
