The University of the Free State (UFS) has obtained an interim court order prohibiting any individuals from engaging in unlawful activities or conduct on any of its campuses.
In terms of the order, no person may amongst others:
- Participate in or promote unlawful protest action;
- Disrupt or interfere with academic or online activities;
- Block access to or from university campuses;
- Intimidate, threaten, or harass students, staff, or visitors; or
- Damage, destroy, or tamper with university property or safety equipment.
The order applies to all UFS campuses — Bloemfontein, South, and Qwaqwa — and remains in force pending the final determination of the matter.
The University urges all members of the community to respect the order and uphold a safe, conducive environment for teaching, learning, and work.
Disruption of academic activities on the Bloemfontein Campus
2017-10-19
The executive management is aware that groups of students are attempting to disrupt academic activities on the Bloemfontein Campus today.
The continuance of the academic programme remains a serious matter to the executive management, and behaviour such as this will not be tolerated. Students who are identified while taking part in these incidents will be disciplined according to the university’s student disciplinary procedures. Video recordings and/or photos of these incidents can be shared with Protection Services by contacting Noko Masalesa at masalesan@ufs.ac.za or x3436.
The situation on the campus is being closely monitored and the necessary security measures are in place.
