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’.

2011-04-20

Enrico Acker, scrumhalf of the FNB Shimlas

Enrico Acker, scrumhalf of the FNB Shimlas, has been named as the FNB Varsity Cup’s best back of the series.

Earlier in the series, during the FNB Shimlas’ victory over the TUT, Enrico was named as the match’s Player that Rocks. Soon afterwards the Free State Vodacom Cup team announced that they wanted him.

In reaction to this, Enrico said that he would like to finish his season with the FNB Shimlas. “I have come a very long way with them and would like to be involved in the semi-finals, as well as, if we get the opportunity, in the finals,” he says.

Keep a lookout for the match times of our residences league on the Student Portal and come and support the men.
