The University of the Free State (UFS) is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in South Africa.It opened its doors in 1904 in Bloemfontein as the Grey University College, with six students in theHumanities. Since then, the institution has grown to more than 39 000 students, spread over threecampuses and across seven faculties (Economic and Management Sciences, Education, Health Sciences,the Humanities, Law, Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Theology and Religion).

Most of the students are located on the Bloemfontein Campus, with the Qwaqwa Campus situated in thepicturesque Eastern Free State, serving a rapidly-growing number of rural students from the immediatearea and surrounding provinces. The South Campus – also situated in Bloemfontein – serves as the centrefor distance-learning programmes offered by the UFS, as well as alternative access to higher educationfor promising students who have not obtained the required marks in their final school examinations.

Over the years, the university has grown into an education hub which has positioned itself on the globalstage, promoting research excellence, with exceptionally talented scholars and students who are recognisedthe world over, as well as alumni who have grown into influential leaders in society.

PROMISE TO REMAIN TRUE TO THE VOCATIONBELOFTE TOT ROEPINGSTROUKE TSHEPISA HORE KE TLA DULA KE TSHEPAHALA MOSEBETSING WA KA

I solemnly pledge before God and all who are gathered here // that I am convinced that the honourable profession which I am about to enter // is agreat privilege // and lays a humbling responsibility in my hands. //

Ek sal myself van alles wat skadelik en verkeerd is onthou, // en sal nooit enige nadelige en bedwelmende middel neem, // of dit doelbewus aanandere toedien nie. //

Ke tla etsa sohle se matleng a ka // ho boloka le ho phahamisa maemo a mosebetsi wa ka, // mme ke tla boloka ka hohle-hohle e le lekunutu //ditaba tsohle tsa botho // le tsa lelapa tseo nka tshohang ke di hlokomela // nakong ya ho phetha mosebetsi wa ka.

(I shall do everything within my ability to maintain and elevate the standard of my profession and shall keep strictly confidential all personal and familymatters that I may become aware of in the execution of my vocation.)

I see myself as the sounding board for my patients in pain, // dismay and fear, // and therefore each of them is an individual to me // with an ownpersonality and needs. // Each is an embodiment of the wonder of life, // whom I want to acknowledge // and protect in all modesty. //

In the final instance // I see my work as an expression of love, // a love that includes all my fellow humans - // regardless of their race // or religion // or status. // Thus I want to see my vocation as part of a divine truth: // And now abide faith, // hope, // love, // these three; // but the greatestof these is love.

The Seanamarena – the traditional Basotho blanket.

The Main Procession graduation gowns –embroidered with rich diversity.

South Africa, and the Free State in particular, hasa long-standing friendship with our neighbouringcountry, Lesotho. Through a shared history, wehave become co-creators of our futures. For thisreason, the UFS decided to incorporate ourtradition with that of the Basotho in the designof our Main Procession graduation gowns.

The gowns are inspired by the Seanamarena –the traditional Basotho blanket. The differentpatterns on the Seanamarena indicate the statusone holds in the Basotho nation or reflect theoccasion being celebrated. Keeping theSeanamarena pattern in mind, we combined ourtraditional academic designs with that of theBasotho nation.

Yoke pattern for the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor

This Seanamarena pattern is an interpretation of a design – used exclusively for the king and chiefs –which means “to swear by the king”. This blanket has the highest status of all Basotho blankets.

Yoke pattern for Registrar

The same Seanamarena Poone design used for the Vice-Rector applies to the Registrar, with some slightdesign and colour alterations.

Yoke pattern for the Chairperson of the Council

This Seanamarena Victorian crest motif appeared after the visit of the Prince of Wales to Lesotho in 1925,which made a profound impression on the local people. Customers refer to this blanket as ‘lesiba’ – meaningfeathers – when buying it.
