The Council of the University of the Free State (UFS) is seeking to co-opt a suitable candidate to serve for a period of four (4) years on the Finance Committee of Council. To this end, nominations for suitably qualified and experienced candidates are invited.

The Finance Committee of Council exercises oversight over the financial and investment portfolio of the UFS.

Candidates must be suitably qualified with requisite knowledge and experience of financial matters (including investments and acquisitions that are material to the UFS’s business). An appropriate qualification in the financial field is required, as is registration with the relevant professional bodies. 

Nominations must be submitted on the prescribed Nomination form, together with detailed curricula vitae, to the Registrar of the UFS at registrar@ufs.ac.za before 16:30 on 12 January 2022.

The Nominations Committee of Council will consider all the nominations and make a recommendation to the Council, which will decide whether to co-opt any of the candidates. 

The Finance Committee meets at least four times per year, or more frequently as may be necessary. 

The Council may decide not to co-opt any of the candidates.  

For enquiries, you may contact Mr NN Ntsababa at registrar@ufs.ac.za or telephone number +27 51 401 3796.

Harald Pakendorf talks at the UFS
2009-03-30

 
Mr Harald Pakendorf (left), well-known political analyst, presenter and guest on various television and radio programmes, presented a lecture at the University of the Free State's (UFS) Centre for Environmental Management last week on the topic "Will the state be able to satisfy the growing need for quality services" as part of National Water Week.

“It is expected that we will have a shortage of water supply in South Africa by 2025. Although clean water is still provided to urban areas, smaller towns in the country are experiencing problems with their water supply. This is due to a lack of skill and capital, the application of affirmative action, nepotism and the incompetence of government," he said. Here he is with Prof. Maitland Seaman, Director of the Centre for Environmental Management at the UFS.
