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.

The Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, German and French recently held a Language Day Festival to coincide with the National Language Day. The purpose of the festival was for staff members to have language-related fun around a typical braaivleis with traditional boerewors and a Dutch stroopwafel. Staff members were treated to, amongst other activities: Afrikaans, Dutch, German and French music, a DVD about the translation project by Prof. Naomi Morgan, and a short drama. Pictured are staff members of the department performing in a drama as part of the days festivities.
