Seventeen years of friendship, with four degrees among them. This is what friends Eduan du Plessis, Johanco Viljoen, Louis van der Walt, and Thinus Greyling celebrated during the University of the Free State’s April graduation ceremony. The four friends – who started their academic careers together at Grey Pre-Primary in 2006 and matriculated at Grey College in 2018 – obtained qualifications during the graduation ceremonies of the faculties of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and Economic and Management Sciences.
Mock court competition for first year LLB-students
2005-11-08
The Faculty of Law at the University of the Free State (UFS) presented the first mock court competition for first year LLB-students in the Appeal Court in Bloemfontein. In the past this type of competition was presented by other universities in the country only for senior students and never before in the Appeal Court. This year the UFS presented the first competition which other universities were invited to. These were the Universities of Rhodes and Pretoria. The Afrikaans competition was won by the UFS, while the University of Rhodes made a clean sweep in the English competition.
