The University of the Free State will be home to Hannée van Blerk, who will travel all the way from Hoërskool Piet Retief, in Kwazulu Natal. She is to enrol in Physiotherapy in 2016.
“I’m looking forward to meeting new people, studying something I’m passionate about, and just having a fun time while doing so (and not have to do geometry homework everyday, of course!). I’m excited to be a proud Kovsie next year. It’s been the university for my parents, aunt, as well as my sister, and being able to carry the tradition of attending this beautiful university is truly a blessing.”
