South Campus dining — The South Campus can enjoy affordable, healthy food choices in the new food establishment, Dining@Kovsies.

Since the appointment of Dining@Kovsies in January this year, the South Campus community has been enjoying affordable, healthy meals.

Dining@Kovsies also offers students a safe space to gather and relax between classes. Ilze Nikolova from Housing and Residence Affairs, who is overseeing catering on the South Campus, says they are constantly looking at new ideas. “We also offer a variety of options on the menu and incorporate new items as requested by students. It’s important for us to have a close-knit relationship with our customers.”

Some of the food choices include a selection of salads, as well as a home-cooked meal consisting of a meat, starch, and vegetable option.

Simoné Nel, the Head of Support Services and Operations on the South Campus, says she personally tasted and enjoyed the chicken salad. “It was fresh, very tasty, and very affordable,” she remarks.

Dining@Kovsies also caters for vegetarians as well as other food requirements. “If we know there is a specific client with specific requirements, the client can make a request to our head chef, Lulama Lepheana, and she will gladly assist where possible,” says Nikolova.

“Vegetarians can specifically look forward to ordering the vegetarian burger, non-meat salads, or wraps. But if you are more of a meat eater, the chicken wings and ribs are winners. And for the sweet tooth, there is always the chewy, fudgy chocolate brownie that one can enjoy,” concludes Nikolova.

UFS presents unique rally

2006-05-11

On Friday 9 June 2006 the University of the Free State (UFS) will present the second Amazing Race Rally in Bloemfontein.

The rally is presented in aid of children and babies with serious diseases in the Department of Pediatrics and Child Health in the UFS Faculty of Health Sciences. These children are in need of intensive care, and suffer from cancer, heart disease, neurological diseases and conditions, endocrinological diseases or gastro-enterological conditions.

By raising the necessary funds, equipment can be acquired to meet the unique healthcare needs of these children and babies and it will also enable the UFS to maintain the high standards of education, training and research in this field.

Last year about 12 corporate teams from among others Vodacom, Medi-Clinic, Eskom, Mimosa Mall and Nedbank and four teams from the UFS competed in the rally. The Medi-Clinic team was the winner.

This year the teams will again follow a specific route with various check points by car. Here they will have to complete activities or solve clues before receiving their clue to the next checkpoint. The teams will be travelling with cars branded with the logo of the company they represent.

Companies and institutions in Bloemfontein can enter in the rally by means of sponsoring a check point, entering a team of two persons or sponsoring some aspects of the day.

The rally will give participants an opportunity to test their knowledge of the city, as well as their time management skills, communication skills, team work and even their relationships!

The programme will start at 12:00 on the UFS Main Campus and the first team to complete this task is the winner of Bloemfontein’s second Amazing Rainbow Rally.

Extensive publicity of the event on OFM in the weeks running up to the day will ensure that participants are easily recognised and will create a measure of excitement.

Enquiries about the rally can be directed to Ms Adéle van Aswegen at (051) 401-3535 or Ms Ilse Olivier at (051) 401-2415.
