Among the thousands of new graduates obtaining qualifications during the University of the Free State’s (UFS) April graduation ceremony, were twins – Angel and Angelica Eksteen. The duo obtained their Bachelor of Education degrees in the Senior Phase and Further Education and Training Teaching with distinctions during the Faculty of Education ceremony on 18 April 2023.
Angel says the journey to graduating was challenging, but worth it. “The most fulfilling thing about graduating was seeing the excitement and pride on our aunt and grandmother’s faces, making the challenges worth it.”
Angelica says their education journey has only just begun. Next in line for the twins is Bachelor of Education honours degrees. “And while we strive towards that, we will be the best teachers in the profession.”
Kovsie alumni reunion on the Thames.
2005-07-07
There are only 20 places left for Kovsie Alumni that want to attend the Castle Lager Kovsie Alumni London Reunion! This year’s reunion will be in a class of its own and will be held on the Queen Mary on the Thames River. The reunion will take place next Saturday 16 July and the popular Blou Willem Theron will be the key note speaker. A cantush will also be held. (For those who do not know what that is, the Alumni will sing traditional South African songs and have an incredible time!).
The reunion will start at 18:30 and tickets cost £10. This includes a buffet dinner and access to the Queen Mary nightclub later the evening. Unfortunately, only 150 people can be accommodated on the Queen Mary (130 people have already booked). Therefore, if you know of any Kovsie Alumni in the United Kingdom, contact Anli Bosman at anlibosman@yahoo.com.
