They will tackle Australia at the Free State Vodacom Park at 17:00. Five former Kovsies are included in this team. They are Flip van der Merwe, Gurthro Steenkamp, Jannie du Plessis, C.J. van der Linde and Juan Smith. <br /> <a href="http://www.ufs.ac.za/news/index.php?sid=1841&cid=2&year=2010">More information</a> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> <td valign="top" width="120"><img height="111" alt="" width="150" src="/faculties/images/10/483/voorblad/2010/springbokke.jpg" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><strong>UFS on the right track with transformation - Fulbright scholars<br /> </strong>“I think the university is not only on the right track but can really become a model for how to negotiate certain difficult processes, such as transformation, within a short period of time. I think it can become a model, not just for other universities, but also for the world.” <br /> <br /> This was said by Dr Rozetta Wilmore-Schaeffer, who together with Rev. Dr Frederick J.
