SRC Graduations
Seventeen Campus Student Representative Council members are set to graduate during the week of 7 April 2025.

As the University of the Free State (UFS) commemorates the April 2025 graduation season, a group of student leaders is preparing to cross the stage not only as graduates but also as individuals who helped shape student life on our campuses.

The Office of Student Governance is celebrating 17 members of the Campus Student Representative Council (CSRC) who are graduating during the week of 7 April – a proud moment for the office and the broader UFS community.

These graduates have carried the responsibility of student leadership while staying committed to their academic journeys. Their names now join the long list of student leaders who’ve helped shape campus life and still crossed the finish line with their degrees in hand.

From Qwaqwa Campus, we celebrate Nomvuyo Nungu, Xolani Ntimane, Qhama Mqulo, Ayanda Madiba, Anele Mcineka, and Lebohang Mateka. From Bloemfontein Campus, we celebrate Martin Nyaka, Boikanyo Moleko, Portia Mtawarira, Ogorogile Moleme, Moses Davis, Oratile Lentsela, Naledi Mathakhoe, Siyabonga Dludla, Aphiwe Mbutuma, and Paballo Taoana.

Their contribution reflects the pillars of Student Affairs – student success and student development – and their legacy extends beyond office terms and meeting rooms.

Special recognition goes to those who also served on the Institutional SRC (ISRC): Nomvuyo Nungu, Martin Nyaka, Qhama Mqulo, Xolani Ntimane, and Ogorogile Moleme, whose leadership extended across all UFS campuses.

“To all current and aspiring student leaders, let this be a reminder: academic excellence and leadership can go hand in hand,” says Pholla Mbalane, Acting Head of Department for the Office of Student Governance. Continue to serve and lead, but never lose sight of your academic goals. Balance is not just possible, it is powerful.” 

Congratulations to our UFS leaders of the future!
