Belinda Janeke is the proud recipient of the Dean’s Medal for best honours student in Industrial Psychology in the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences (EMS), which was awarded during the recent April graduation ceremonies. Janeke, a career adviser specialising in career services with a focus on career development and work-readiness programmes, is currently studying for a master’s in Industrial Psychology, with a view to becoming a registered industrial psychologist.

“The Dean’s Medal was a huge surprise and shock, and I couldn’t have done it without the amazing lecturers I had,” says Janeke.  “They have done so much to engage with us, teach us, and help us with online teaching in 2020 and 2021.”

Janeke began her career as an orientation officer at the University of the Free State (UFS) in 2009 and was promoted to advising and lecturing before being appointed as Head: Career Services (Student Affairs) in 2013, a position she currently holds.

“I really enjoyed my studies; I could live my passion and apply the work experience I gained over time as well. It is just a super blessing from Above; only by God’s grace that this happened,” explains Janeke.

The Shimlas Young Guns claimed the U/20 Varsity Cup title when they beat the defending champions UP-Tuks Young Guns during a nail-biting extra time kick-off competition in Pretoria on Monday.

The U/20 Tuks team had not lost a Young Guns game for three years as they headed into this clash. They took an early lead in front of their home crowd and stayed ahead until the second half. Yet, the UFS started making their comeback when lock Justin Basson crossed the try line and leveled the score.

Both Shimlas and Tuks scored another try before the whistle blew, still leaving the scores level at full time. The goal kicking done by the UFS in extra time sealed the deal for a first ever Young Guns tournament title for our boys from Bloemfontein.
