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.

Kovsie Support Services at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently held the first of a series of workshops on Human Rights Awareness to cultivate a culture of human rights at the UFS. This first workshop was dedicated to the Residence Heads. More workshops of this nature will be held to afford the whole university community an opportunity to learn about human rights. These workshops form part of the Residence Diversity Implementation Committee's (RDIC) mandate. Attending the workshop were, from the left: Dr Choice Makhetha (Deputy Dean: Student Affairs), Mr Hein Badenhorst (new Residence Head), Ms Masego Petlhu (Human Rights Commission), Mrs Elsie Rupping (Residence Head) and Adv. Mothusi Lepheane (Human Rights Commission).
