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 special gala concert as part of the inauguration of the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State, Prof. Jonathan Jansen, was also a celebration of the diversity and harmony. Concert goers could feast on music covering centuries, genres and continents. In the early part of the programme early and classical and contemporary music were presented and in the second half concert goers could acquaint themselves with indigenous African music and jazz.
