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 Shimlas of the University of the Free State (UFS) played their fourth match in the FNB Varsity Cup against the Maties at the Danie Craven Stadium in Stellenbosch this week.

The Shimlas gave the Maties a real fright at first, with a score of 14-15 at half-time. In the second half, however, the Maties started fighting back and ended up winning their home match 31-15.

The Shimlas are now getting ready to give their all at their home match next week. Coach Jaco Swanepoel and his team will undoubtedly impress in the match against the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) on Monday, 1 March at Shimla Park at 18:30.
