On 20 October 2022, the University of the Free State (UFS) Faculty of Theology and Religion will present the distinguished Tutu-Jonker lecture in honour of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Prof Willie Jonker. These two theologians are well-known in South Africa for their emphasis on reconciliation, and the series of lectures is a tribute to their reconciliatory efforts.
This will be the first in-person Tutu-Jonker lecture since COVID-19 and the passing of Archbishop Tutu. The keynote speaker, Dr Lazarus Mokobake, Chaplain in the South African Defence Force, will deliver the lecture, themed: ‘Faltering resilience – a nation in need of conciliation’.
Registrations close on 14 October 2022.
Election day 22 April 2009
2009-02-28
Due to the election being held on Wednesday, 22 April 2009, this day is a public holiday. There will therefore be no official university activities on this day.
The two graduation ceremonies that were scheduled for this day have been rescheduled for
Monday, 20 April 2009. They are respectively the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of Education (8:30) and the graduation ceremony of the Faculty of the Humanities at 14:30.
These two ceremonies as well as all the others that have been scheduled for April will be held on the South Campus (the former Vista Campus) because the Callie Human Centre is not available.
