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.

The Faculty of Theology at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently approached Prof. Dons Kritzinger, previously from the University of Pretoria, to do an investigation on how this faculty can render a service to a wider group of churches in the Free State and Northern Cape. According to Prof. Kritzinger, the faculty must deliberately reach out to more churches. “The faculty can offer a lot; however, not many people know about it,” said Prof. Kritzinger. Prof. François Tolmie, Dean of the UFS Faculty of Theology said the faculty would thoroughly discuss Prof. Kritzinger’s report and on these grounds they would launch new actions. At Prof. Kritzinger’s feedback discussion were front, from the left: Prof. Kritzinger and Prof. Tolmie; back: Prof. Rian Venter from the Department of Systematic Theology at the UFS.
