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.

Prof. Haneke Brits from our Faculty of Health Sciences recently completed an international course in Palliative Care Leadership.
The Institute for Palliative Medicine, a teaching affiliate of the University of California San Diego (UCSD), awarded Prof. Brits a Diploma in International Palliative Care Leadership. She is one of only 19 people worldwide to complete this unique two-year course.
“It has been an honour to work with Prof. Brits. We know that she has made great contributions to palliative medicine during these two years. We are certain that you have seen how her leadership skills and capacities have grown,” the Institute for Palliative Medicine stated in a letter in recognition of her participation.
Prof. Brits is currently consultant and associate professor at the UFS Department of Family Medicine.
