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.

Kovsie-driemanskap oorheers die mans-afdeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse pluimbalkampioenskap.
2004-10-15

Die Kovsie-driemanskap, Chris en Roelof Dednam en Wiaan Viljoen, saam met hul ervare spanmaat, Johan Kleingeld, oorheers, soos verwag is, totaal die mans-afdeling van die Suid-Afrikaanse pluimbalkampioenskap.

Chris Dednam het sy nasionale enkelspeltitel suksesvol verdedig deur onder andere Kleingeld in die half-eindronde 15-2, 15-3, en Viljoen in die eindronde met 15-5, 15-0, te klop. Hy het ook die dubbelspeltitel behou, die keer saam met broer Roelof, deur Viljoen en Dorian James (WP) in die eindronde met 17-16, 15-7, te verslaan. In die gemengde dubbelspel wou die kombinasie nie vlot nie, en is hy en Antoinette Uys (Bol) in die half-eindronde uitgeskakel.

Roelof Dednam het benewens die dubbelspeltitel (sy eerste senior nasionale titel), in die enkelspel die half-eindronde gehaal waar hy naelskraap in drie stelle teen Viljoen verloor het. Hy het ook in die gemengde dubbelspel die half-eindronde gehaal.

Wiaan Viljoen het benewens die eindrondes in enkelspel en dubbelspel die kwart-eindronde van die gemengde dubbelspel gehaal.
