The CR Swart statue on the Bloemfontein campus was allegedly van-

dalised on 18 March 2015. This came on the back of protests at the University of Cape Town (UCT), petitioning that #RhodesMustFall. Weeks later a group of UFS students started a campaign on social me-dia that #CRSMustFall. It is alleged this pho-tograph was taken on the night of 18 March 2015 outside of the CR Swart Building. The Institute of Rec-onciliation and Social Justice (IRSJ) started the YES/NO campaign on 11 March 2015. The campaign took place across all three cam-puses. T-shirts were only issued to attendees at the South Campus campaign. IRAWA Post received the image on 7 April 2015, four weeks after the picture was al-legedly taken. After investigations, it was brought to attention the placards were only available on 13 April 2015 at the South Cam-pus’ No to Racism Cam-paign. Whereas the pic-ture, with the placard to No to Racism was taken on 18 March 2015. The University of the Free State then had talks about signs, stat-ues and symbols from 7-10 April 2015. A group of student bodies expressed their grievances in a march organised by SASCO where they issued a memorandum in de-mand of the removal of CR Swart statue. Quotes from relevant stakeholders regarding the incident were not available.

Complaints regard-ing bus transportation from the Bloemfontein to South Campus have surfaced. Commuting students say they often arrive late to their class-

es and accuse drivers of reckless behaviour. Their grievances were speeding and students being left behind be-cause, the bus collect-ing them was too small to accommodate all. Neliswa Malembe, first-year said, “The drivers drive so fast and reck-

less that this one day we almost had an accident.” Khomotjo Mathe, first-year B.Admin student said, “The bus stop is too far because I stay at Universitas and it’s a 45 minute walk.” University Prepara-tion Programme Man-ager, Tshegofatso Setilo,

Provincial Chairperson of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL), Makalo Mohale said, “Education is fun-damental and integral in ensuring the achieve-ment of economic free-dom struggle, therefore, the academic exclusion is standing right in front of that progress.” Mohale stated, the ANC Youth League supports SASCO, and what they are doing is a build-up of what many had done twenty years ago. “I would like to thank you for a march that was presented with dignity and respect and thank you to everyone who is involved,” Prof Jansen said to the crowd. “The issues that you raised are real issues and I will respond to you very quickly on these issue,” he added. At the beginning of the current academic period there were 2702 stu-dents that were listed for deregistration, “this morning there were

Chairperson of Solo-mon Mahlangu Branch, Bongani Zwane said, “The South African Stu-dent Congress Solomon Mahlangu Branch at UFS is deeply concerned by the depth of slow trans-formation at the univer-sity.”

SASCO UFS document-ed a number of issues which seek urgent at-tention from the Uni-versity’s management. “We are here to submit a memorandum to the institution on the basis that we are not com-fortable with the num-ber of students that

Despite the low turn-out, SASCO proceeded with the march. “Every-one was invited, other student organizations who were not there did so out of their own will,” said Benni Shuping, SASCO UFS Secretary. He shared that these organizations probably do not identify them-selves with the strug-gles of students and therefore, do not feel the need to advance and champion the needs and interest of the ma-jority affected which are blacks general in African in particular. “We never

RC First-Years said, ”Dit het gevoel asof iemand my met koue water gooi toe ek die nuus kry en kon nie glo Zanell is weg nie. Sy het n groot im-pak in my lewe gehad en so ook in elke HK-lid en die dames van Sonnedou.” Godfrey Magawo, Zan-

KovsieTV is set to expose the student com-munity to vari-ous events and

opportunities on the Bloemfontein campus. It will cover arts and cul-ture, sports and current affairs. The launch took place on the on 30 April 2015, at the Centenary Com-plex. Victor Ngubeni, Student Representative Council (SRC) for Stu-

dent Development and Environmental Affairs’ office is the brain child behind the concept. The event aimed to in-form attendees on what the initiative is about as well as introduce the presenters. The studio present-ers are Nangamso Dlu-tu and Grace Thoabala. The on field presenters are Nothando Hlophe, current affairs; Aldine van der and Mbulelo Si-yoko, culture and vox pops; Lesego Maaka-medi, social events and Aisha Poswa, sports.

Nangamso Dlutu, a sec-ond- year Communi-cation Science student said, “I have always wanted to be involved in Kovsie media, I started with Kovsie Face of Fa-cebook in 2013 I made to the top ten. I entered the following year and made it to the top two but I didn’t win. So this a breakthrough for me to be honoured with such an opportunity and I am very grateful for it. I would like to master this before I envisage broadening my horizons in terms of my media

career.”KovsieTV will be broad-casted on the following media platforms: You-Tube, the University’s Facebook page, the Uni-versity’s podcast site as well as the TVs at the Thakaneng Bridge

Sifiso Dube, a third-year B.Com Investment Man-agement and Banking student, said “I believe that is a great initiative that will provide student the opportunity to air their views on certain topics and I like the fact that they show case all the various events given the fact that less than forty percent of the stu-dents are present at this launch.” Mosa Leteane, SRC President, closed the event with a thanks giv-ing speech saying, “We have a good story to tell this year and through KovsieTV this story will be shared with student. All the successes we have will be broadcast by KovsieTV.” KovsieTV was set to air 5 May but failed to air as of yet.

Do we have a culture

ErratumVolume 71, issue 4

IRAWA Post would like to note the following:

We issued an article under the wrong journalist on pg.5 titled “talk on the table.”Correct credit: Megan Zea-land.As well as, the Opinion on pg.7 The journalist would like to retract their opinion from the paper on the article titled “Graduation does not guaran-tee me a job.”

In the rat race of class-es, assignments and tests we can finally say its exam season. I don't know about you but I prefer exams rath-

er than keeping up with classes. Exam season gives me the time to make up my own schedule without having to rush madly from one class to the next.All I see on campus now is the frequent trips to the boards, calculating predicate. I almost get the feel-ing that each year I advance to it, it does not get any easier. Each year I start off with orientation week and week by week the pace hastens until I’m sprint-ing and ready to huff and puff with submit-ting assignment here, writing a test there and

An interesting discus-sion with Dr Pieter Mulder, a veteran ATKV debating judge from the University of North West, led this eager debater to be-lieve that our beloved university lacks a cardinal culture. He told me that the reason Kovsies al-ways fall out when it comes to Afrikaans debating is because we are not cultivating it or making it a year round thing like our counterparts do. At first I felt offend-ed. We worked ex-tremely hard for four days! Then it hit me. We worked extremely hard… for four days. Whereas, other cam-puses practice all year. They have inter-residence debates and choose speakers from the winning resi-dences. It is not necessar-ily that we have poor speakers, we are sim-ply not up to stand-

ard. I started wonder-ing whether or not this seeps through to other cultural activities. One can argue that Stagedoor, Extravagan-za and Sêr receive a lot of attention. Granted. But, that’s just the tip of the Kovsie culture iceberg. How much atten-tion is actually paid to poetry readings, art exhibitions and other culture activities? We are sitting on a powder keg of amazing cultural talents and events, but they are ignored or rushed off at the last minute. There is this big hoo-ha concerning sport. Why? Why is there a mass-exodus to Shimla Park to back our boytjies but, no-body even bothers to support the otherwise talented? Everybody is a Kov-sie. We need to back our boytjies. All of them. Even the culture vultures.

wonder do these lectur-ers sit in a round panel and discuss my time-table just to make sure they reduce your social life to a zero. Graduation stems as the reminder that we are chasing after pa-per and that final walk across the Callie stage. While others resort to other methods of ‘waving’ it all becomes worth those numerous coffee consumption as studying has become so mind numbing as it boils down to those few minutes you enter the exam room and put ink on paper and race against time in hope to have aced that exam.

Gangs @ LocIt’s that time of the year again where the “new-bies”, as the study loc gang call them, rush to the study loc because exams are around the corner and they have to do something about making that predicate. Now to my surprise, every setting has its own gang. Meet the study loc gang: 1) the premanent resi-dent: These could easily be B.Acc and Medicine students, they live, breathe, eat, and even take 2 hour breaks at the study loc. No one never takes their seats because their fel-low members are safe guarding their chair. They have been loyal to these chambers. 2) Bully: That student that gives you the eye be-cause you took their seat. They have been diligently coming to the study loc a little longer

than you have, yet they are not a permanent residents. They are still climbing the ranks, so fellow settlers do not really know them but, allow you to take their seat.3) the guest user: You know it’s test week when Law students pop by. They pop in and out the study loc, one day they have this sudden anxiety to be in an en-vironment full of people studying in hope that they will diligently study to and make up for all the time they have not been coming to the loc to study. Sadly for these ones they don’t know the culture of the loc and they end up having the bad seats. Common complaints still remain with exams coming, the study loc becomes full. A frustrat-ed student said, “If the varsity could organise venues prior exam sea-son rather than waitng to see if the loc gets full, then only do they react to the demand”.

The Drama Department will be releasing yet an-other imaginative pro-duction. This time it is Jack and the Beanstalk. IRAWA Post spoke to Franco De Wet about the play, studying Dra-ma and the journey he took to land his leading role. De Wet shares he is excited to play the main character and the expe-rience of working in the production. “It’s written by Karen Combrinck and Waldo Strydom. Waldo Strydom is also our di-rector. It’s a new take on the play. It’s completely different from the origi-nal. It’s for the modern children,” De Wet said. De Wet shares that Strydom believed that watching Jack and the Beanstalk would en-tail watching the actual beanstalk grow, which is an interesting feature added to the play. Although being in the production requires a lot of fun, De Wet shares it comes with a lot stress.

De Wet said, “There is a battle of balancing as-signments, classes and social life amongst oth-ers. We have an insane program. We rehearse for six hours a week. This is in between your classes. You still have to find time for other things like assignments, classes and your social life [sic].” De Wet’s journey into studying drama was not simple either. Although he had done drama from a young age, De Wet felt lit-tle support for pursu-ing drama as a career. Specifically so from his father, Radio Rosestad’s Jaco De Wet. At first his father did not believe drama would be a resourceful occupa-tion. This changed when Jaco got to see De Wet perform during his self-written play. “It was a dark play. My character in the play screamed things like I don’t be-lieve in God and I am from a Christian home. When we got home my dad was in tears, ask-ing me what did he do

wrong. Why didn’t I believe in God? Then I told him I was just act-ing. I told him the whole concept of theatre was meant to make him stand up and say that’s wrong. And when he re-alised that, then he said I can go study drama,” said De Wet. De Wet was blown away by the opportuni-ties were made available by the drama depart-ment on campus. He believes that it offers a lot to its students. From puppetry, building a set or even controlling the lighting. De Wet also found an interest in stage man-agement. He said, “The stage manager is under the director. He organ-ises the actors making sure everything is in place, making sure eve-rything runs smoothly.” De Wet is a second-year drama student and Jack and the Beanstalk is his first title role in the Drama Department. Jack and the Beanstalk will be running from 6 May until 9 May. Tickets are available from Com-puticket.

Breakfast usually con-sist of toast and/or Nu-tella and a bowl of ce-real, I am not a believer of the “Breakfast should be eaten like Kings” ide-ology. Who has time and energy to prepare a de-cent breakfast?

Supper is anything that is available. From take-aways to free food I get from my roommate or friends. Eating on a budget can be a prob-lem. But with a routine the food struggle will be easier.

Being a student is hard, and having to cook for yourself can be a rather daunting task. I like to cook but, since I have moved into res I do not like it so much anymore. Having to move with all my utencils, is daunting.

If you are reading this, it’s a miracle. Have you ever strolled to a lecture, pretty chuffed that you are ten min-utes early only to be met with your fellow classmates walking out of the lecture hall? Me neither. Exams season is here and got us running around like headless chickens. What a good time to be alive! The past few weeks have been rather

eventful. From statues to SRC presidents fall-ing. Issues regarding students and student politics, or activism to be politically correct, have never been this exciting. A call to boycott the CR Swart Memorial Lec-ture has been doing the rounds. Could efforts like these shift the way in which we see student activism? #WillSwart-Fall? or is he #Steady-Chillin’? It has been said that there is a lot of student apathy when it comes to students attending events, campaigns, symposiums etc. held on campus. This might be true on some level however, on the other hand, it all boils down to proper planning. Let’s face it, most events apart from your big events such as the CR Swart or Africa Day Memorial Lecture only get properly advertised two or three days prior to the event. Only a

handful of students attend these events, that is if they were lucky enough to spot the poster somewhere around campus or see an announcement on Blackboard. Bear in mind, most of these events hap-pen during the lecture times, so chances of attending the event are already minimised. I find that this serves as a great disservice, not only to students but, to the organisers for go-ing through the trouble of organising, only for a small number of people to pitch up. My humble plea to the organisers: please advertise in time. I am most likely to attend something I heard of one or two weeks prior, than a few hours be-fore. With that being said, all the best for the exams. Remember to keep hydrated on Predi-cate Day. Que sera sera.

LUNCH

This usually consists of food I would’nt cook myself like rice or spa-ghetti bolognaise. When the selection at the caf-eteria fails to impress, a pie would have to do. It’s the only decent meal of the day.

Kovsies remain winningThe Women’s hockey team secured a second place on the log after winning all four games of the first leg of this years’ Varsity Cup Tour-nament. The first four rounds of the tourna-ment took place at the University of North West (NWU), Potchefstroom campus from 1 - 4 May 2015. University of the Free State Women’s hockey coach, Braam van Wyk said, “This year the team consists of five Protea players which brings additional expe-rience, which work well in complementing and improving players’ per-formance as well as the teams.” Kovsies trashed the University of Johan-nesburg 5-1 in their last game of the the first leg to bring them within one point of the cur-rent leaders, University of Pretoria (UP Tuks). Captain, Linè Malan said, “It would be nice

to return with another Varsity Cup title that the university can boast about, but one doesn’t simply end up in a final. It’s going to take a big effort from each of the players and coaching

With the disappointment of not qualifying for Var-sity Football fresh in the memory, the possibil-ity of UFS men’s soccer team winning the SAB Regional League pro-vides a welcome distrac-tion. Kovsies are currently top the SAFA Mangaung Metropolitan 18-team log with 64 points from 28 matches, although second-placed Kingston FC have two matches in hand. The two-point gap at the top of table gives Kovsies’ visit to Kingston FC even greater bill-ing. The winner of each of the Free State’s five SAFA regions will go into a playoff round, with the overall winner earning a spot in the second tier of South African football. UFS captain, Themba Zimo, feels promotion to the Vodacom League could provide the much needed impetus for football to be revived on the UFS’ Bloemfontein campus. “Promotion to the Vodacom League will strengthen our team and UFS football as a whole,” Zimo said. The final year LLB student went on to

say, promotion would also help them prepare for the University Sports South Africa National Football Club champi-onships, which the UFS will host. “Without Var-sity Football, there will be minimal football for

us before the USSA’s,” Zimo added. “UFS football has grown substantially over the past 4 years, especially team participation in the opening two editions of Varsity Football. When I first came to the UFS,

football was not recog-nised, but now it is in a better state,” said Zimo. What is now expect-ed from UFS staff and students? Zimo’s said, “We expect support. The same support they gave us during Varsity

Football will boost our chances of earning pro-motion,” said Zimo.Kovsies are looking to extend their lead over promotion rivals King-ston FC on Saturday, 9 May, the match kicks off at 17:00.
