Celebrating its 20th year of existence, this HSRC flagship publication serves as an invaluable, independent scholarly resource offering insights into the current state of South Africa. The theme of the 2024 edition, Quality of Life and Wellbeing, underscores the commitment to understanding and addressing critical societal issues. Edited by Profs Vasu Reddy, Narnia Bohler-Muller, Zitha Mokomane, and Crain Soudien, this edition builds on the preceding editions, focusing on HSRC priorities of poverty and inequality in novel and relevant ways.

UFS students equip community with computer skills
2009-11-25

 
This semester students from the service learning module in the Department of Computer Science and Informatics at the University of the Free State (UFS) gave computer training to a group of persons from the community. Ms Bongi Ntulini from the Mangaung University of the Free State Community Partnership Programme (MUCPP) selected the group.

Two groups, of which most of the people are unemployed, each received two weeks of training on the South Campus. Mr Frank van der Lingen of the Motheo FET College was appointed as the lecturer for this module by the Department of Computer Sciences and Informatics. After the training a certificate ceremony was held at the MUCPP.
