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.

Enlarged versions of our favourite cartoon characters, colourful student faces dressed in festive outfits, and The Parlotones who performed in front of a record crowd, are but a few of the highlights which characterised this year’s Engen Rag procession. This year, the Kovsie Rag procession also took a turn in Heidedal for the first time. The winners of this year’s colourful floats are Karee, Marjolein and Soetdoring (pool A) and JBM, Kagiso and Welwitschia (pool B).
