In a year marked by a global pandemic, the University of the Free State (UFS) has made great strides in research, teaching, and impactful engagement.
Our 2020 journey has seen many staff members providing services to advance public knowledge of COVID-19 for the greater good of South Africa. We have produced top-rated scientists, boasting six SARChI research chairs and three A-rated scholars in our world-class workforce. Our various initiatives to ensure student success continue to bear fruit, with current and former students making their mark in the world. One such example is Qinisani Qwabe, a PhD student in the Centre for Sustainable Agriculture, Rural Development and Extension, who was selected in the education category of the Mail & Guardian Top 200 Young South Africans. He was also chosen to represent South Africa at a BRICS conference in Russia.

#PeopleofKovsies - My philosophy is: be who you are, follow your bliss and when life gets tricky, put on a pair of heels! - #KovsieFeeling
#PeopleOfKovsies is infiltrating common spaces and ordinary places to find these extraordinary qualities – in you. What is better than one picture to tell the story of a thousand words? Only – a stack of pictures that tells the Kovsie story.
So, when one of our #PeopleOfKovsies photographers come your way, don’t run – stay! And smile. Or wink. Or pout. Or point. No matter what angle or pose, we want you to be part of our #PeopleOfKovsies snapshot collection to reveal the essence of what exactly that #KovsieFeeling is.
