Disruption of academic activities occurred on the Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa campuses of the University of the Free State (UFS) on 1 and 2 August 2023.
The university management is aware that the protest action has impacted our students’ academic programme, as well as academic and support service activities on the campuses.
Here is a message to staff and students from Prof Francis Petersen, Vice-Chancellor and Principal of the UFS, about the events of the past two days: https://vimeo.com/kovsies/fromthevc

Mr Brand Pretorius, chief executive of McCarthy Ltd, delivered the 17th annual Brand Pretorius Lecture of the Department of Business Management at the University of the Free State this week. Mr Pretorius, an honorary professor at the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, gave in a case study of the motor industry attention to managing and leading in tough times. On turbulence on the international economic front, he said South Africa is not isolated from it, but more insulated due to the Credit Act many protested against. Here are, from the left: Prof. Hendri Kroukamp, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences, Prof. Tienie Crous, Acting Vice-Rector: Academic Operations, Mr Pretorius and Prof. Van Aardt Smit, Department of Business Management.
