Judge Joos Hefer was last week elected as new President of the Convocation of the University of the Free State (UFS). More than 100 old Kovsies and staff members were present at the meeting to elect a new president. The convocation is representative of all persons who have obtained a university qualification at the UFS, as well as a certain group of academic and support service staff members. Judge Hefer was elected in the place of Prof. François Retief, former Rector of the UFS.
