Mr Julius Kompi, a senior LLB-student, has been named as the president of the Student Representative Council (SRC) at the Vista Campus of the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein.
The election of a SRC for the Vista Campus of the UFS for the term 2005/2006 was completed earlier this week.
After the main campus, the Vista campus is the second of the UFS three campuses to have completed its SRC election process. Students at the Qwaqwa campus of the UFS will elect a SRC on Friday 26 August 2005.
“The Main Campus SRC and the Vista Campus SRC elections were a resounding success and were conducted in a peaceful manner. We are positive that this tendency will continue in future,” said Dr Ezekiel Moraka, Vice-Rector: Student Affairs at the UFS.
According to Dr Moraka the election process on the Vista Campus was closely monitored by the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). More than 50% of the students on campus took part in the election.
A central SRC that represents the three campus SRCs of the UFS was inaugurated earlier this month. The officials of the Central SRC will be chosen after all three campuses have elected a new SRC.
