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.

2010-11-10
The Management of the University of the Free State (UFS) hereby confirms that Prof. Ezekiel Moraka, Vice-Rector: External Relations, has not been suspended, as was reported in some of the media since last night.
The UFS Management has communicated to Prof. Moraka its intention to suspend him, based on allegations of misconduct brought to the attention of Management. Prof. Moraka has requested five days to submit reasons why he should not be suspended. As a result, the UFS has granted this request and has placed Prof. Moraka on special leave in order for him to prepare his submission.
A final decision regarding the suspension will only be made once the UFS has considered Prof. Moraka's submission.
The UFS confirms that the due process of the law is adhered to in all labour processes.
