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
