Leanne Manas and Prof Francis Petersen
In conversation: Prof Petersen and Leanne Manas.

An outward-looking, globally competitive university that ranks among the top-tier universities in South Africa and on the continent, driven by a strong human-centred, diverse social-justice approach. This is at the heart of the vision Prof Francis Petersen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, shared with multi-award-winning news anchor Leanne Manas during a sit-down conversation on Friday 22 July 2022.

Prof Petersen reflected on the great strides and difficulties faced during his first term, as well as navigating the UFS through the COVID-19 pandemic to position the institution in a strategic and focused manner as a university of choice on the continent and in other parts of the globe.

Third in a row for Shimlas
2011-10-03

 

The Shimlas won the plate segment of the National Club Championship on Friday in Stellenbosch for a third consecutive year. Our university's rugby team triumphed over the team of Roses United with a score of 48-26 in the final.

Kovsies's eighth man, Erik le Roux, scored two of the Shimlas' tries. Le Roux was also named as the man of the match.

The Shimlas will now focus on remaining on top of the Cheetah League's log in Bloemfontein. The final term at Kovsies will also be used to prepare for the 2012 FNB Varsity Cup.
