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.
Third in a row for Shimlas
2011-10-03
The Shimlas won the plate segment of the National Club Championship on Friday in Stellenbosch for a third consecutive year. Our university's rugby team triumphed over the team of Roses United with a score of 48-26 in the final.
Kovsies's eighth man, Erik le Roux, scored two of the Shimlas' tries. Le Roux was also named as the man of the match.
The Shimlas will now focus on remaining on top of the Cheetah League's log in Bloemfontein. The final term at Kovsies will also be used to prepare for the 2012 FNB Varsity Cup.
