ABOUT THE UFS
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
the Humanities. Since then, the
institution has grown to more than
40 000 students, spread over three
campuses and across seven faculties
(Economic and Management
Sciences, Education, Health
Sciences, the Humanities, Law,
BLOEMFONTEIN CAMPUS
Natural and Agricultural Sciences,
Theology and Religion).
Most of the students are located
on the Bloemfontein Campus, with
the Qwaqwa Campus situated
in the picturesque Eastern Free
State, serving a rapidly-growing
number of rural students from the
immediate area and surrounding
provinces. The South Campus – also
situated in Bloemfontein – serves
as the centre for distance-learning
programmes offered by the UFS,
as well as alternative access to QWAQWA CAMPUS
higher education for 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
global stage, promoting research
excellence, with exceptionally
talented scholars and students who
are recognised the world over, as
well as alumni who have grown into
influential leaders in society. SOUTH CAMPUS

DEVELOPMENT OF THE UFS CREST
OVER MORE THAN A CENTURY
19 04
Up to 1935, the same coat of arms was used as the Grey College School.
19 3 5
By 1935, with the name change to University College of the Orange Free State,
the coat of arms fell into disuse, especially among students.
19 47
In 1947, an agreement between management and students led to the new motto
Per Fidem ad Sapientiam (Through faith to wisdom).
19 5 0
In 1952, it was changed to In Deo Sapientiae Lux (In God is the light of wisdom).
The traditional orange, white and blue, linking the UFS to the South African
national colours, changed in the late 1990s.
The orange was replaced by cherry red.
2 011
The academic brand - the historic University of
the Free State crest that has been the symbol
of the university since 1952,
has evolved to embrace
the aesthetic
expectations of the
stakeholders. The
shape of the traditional
academic shield has
been simplified and
contemporised. Much of
the symbolism of the crest
remains intact, acknowledging
the location of the UFS brand as
one of the country’s premier institutions of higher education, with a proud
history of academic excellence and an ever evolving, vibrant culture.

DOCTOR OF SCIENCE
D R B L FA N A R O F F
Dr Bernard Fanaroff began his academic career in 1965 at the
University of the Witwatersrand, where he obtained a BSc and a
BSc (Hons) in Theoretical Physics, and in 1974 he obtained a PhD in
Radio Astronomy from the University of Cambridge. It is during this
time that Fanaroff, together with a British astronomer, Julia Riley,
made a breakthrough in the classification of radio galaxies and
quasars by identifying two classes of radio sources which now bear
their names – Fanaroff-Riley class I and class II sources, or FR-I and
FR-II as they are now universally known. Dr Fanaroff’s paper on the
Fanaroff-Riley classification has been cited well over 2 000 times.
Dr Fanaroff’s commitment to social justice saw him dedicate 19
years of his life to the struggle against apartheid – as an organiser
and national secretary for the Metal Allied Workers Union, which
became the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa
(NUMSA) in 1987. After the first democratic elections in 1994, Dr
Fanaroff was appointed as the Deputy Director-General in the
Office of President Nelson Mandela, and as Head of the Office for
the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP). He also
served as the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Safety
and Security, the Chairperson of the Integrated Justice System
Board and the Inter-departmental Steering Committee for Border
Control, and is a founding member of the Academy of Science of South Africa, a Fellow of the Royal
Astronomical Society, and is a visiting Professor at the University of Oxford.
Following a distinguished career in public service, he was asked by the previous NRF CEO and UFS
Chancellor, Dr Khotso Mokhele, and the previous Director-General of Science and Technology, Dr
Rob Adam, to set up the South African SKA Project Office (SASPO) in 2013 to bring the largest radio
telescope in the world to Africa. Under his visionary leadership, he succeeded in bringing one of the
largest scientific endeavours in history to South Africa, winning the bid to construct the world’s largest
radio telescope in the Great Karoo. In addition, under his guidance two very successful pathfinder
arrays were constructed in South Africa, namely KAT-7 and MeerKAT, as technology demonstrators for
the future SKA project. The MeerKAT is generally acknowledged to be the leading radio telescope of its
kind in the world. A key part of the project has been the development of the SKA South Africa’s highly
respected Human Capital Development programme.
Despite his retirement at the end of 2015, Dr Fanaroff has continued to work as an adviser to the SKA
SA project, as well as an adviser to the Ministry of Science and Technology. He has been appointed
co-chair of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) Working Group on Information
and Communication Technologies and High-Performance Computing, and as member of the Advisory
Committee of the Breakthrough Listen project.
Dr Fanaroff‘s contributions to science and society continues to be recognised on a global scale. He
has been awarded honorary doctorates from six South African universities, received an award for
science diplomacy from Minister Naledi Pandor, and was named Ambassador of the Year by the Cape
Chamber of Business and Die Burger in 2012. In 2014, he was awarded the Order of Mapungubwe – one
of the highest honours in the country – conferred by the State President, not only for his tremendous
contribution to radio astronomy, but also for the pivotal role he played as an activist, trade unionist,
and public servant. In 2017, Dr Fanaroff was awarded the USA’s Karl G Jansky Lectureship for his
unparalleled leadership in astronomy and public service. Other recipients of the Jansky Award include
seven Nobel laureates — as well as noted astronomers Jocelyn Bell-Burnell and Vera Rubin. He also
received the Science-for-Society Gold Medal from the Academy of Science of South Africa in 2017 and
the 2018 Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Research Foundation. In 2019 he was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Society of London, one of the world’s most prestigious scientific academies.
The University of the Free State is honoured to confer the degree of DSc (honoris causa) on Dr Bernard
Lewis Fanaroff.

FOR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY OR THE UNIVERSITY
MR JF DE VILLIERS
Jannie de Villiers started his career as an economist for the
Department of Agriculture in 1985. For more than 30 years, Mr De
Villiers dedicated his knowledge, capabilities, and leadership to the
agricultural sector, specifically grain/ grain-industry development.
Since 2011, he served as the Chief Executive Officer of Grain SA.
He is viewed as a leader in the agricultural and food sectors, both
nationally and in international circles. Mr De Villiers plays a leading
role in policy formulation, and his opinion is valued by role players
in the agri-business sector, leaders, policy makers, and other
relevant stakeholders.
He is regarded as an exceptional leader in the grain sector. His
influential positions can be summarised as chair, vice-chair, trustee
and/or board member of numerous industries serving companies,
referring to among others, chairperson of the SASOL Agricultural
Trust, board member and former chairperson of the South African
Grain Laborarory as well as the South African Grain Information
Service.
Mr De Villiers is an exceptional team leader and is highly respected
by all team members, which is evident through Grain SA’s
successful development and training programmes, as well as
support to commercial and advanced farmers. Under his leadership,
Grain SA established a comprehensive farmer development
programme that aims to develop black commercial farmers, making an invaluable contribution to food
security. More than 10 000 farmers were accommodated in its initiatives. Together, these farmers
cultivated close to 150 000 ha throughout South Africa and R20 million was spent annually in support
of this programme. A further R100 00 million of Government and Industry Programs funding was
managed to develop these farmers. He values the transformative power of training and development.
Via Grain SA, training is not merely done for the sake of training, but to enrich people’s lives and equip
upcoming farmers with knowledge and practical skills to improve crops, plan for the future, and to
establish a sustainable livelihood. As part of this enrichment strategy, De Villiers’ focus on mentorship
shaped the cornerstone on which Grain SA’s Subsistence to Abundance project is based. (This project,
in partnership with The Jobs Fund – National Treasury, Kynoch, Monsanto, SA Lime & Gypsum,
Syngenta, and the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform, contributed greatly to the
output deliverables and success of the project to date).
Under his guidance, the mentorship programme grew to launch ‘study groups’ (grouped according to
location) assigned to a dedicated mentor. Each mentor meets with his/her assigned group on a weekly
basis to provide theoretical training based on an introductory syllabus of maize production. The ‘study
groups’ are not merely utilised for training purposes, but forms a platform through which farmers can
express concerns, ask questions, and plan ahead, which proves critical for resource management and
saving – contributing to the unbelievable results of the project to date. This is also the place where
these farmers are exposed to modern input suppliers.
In partnership with Syngenta and the University of the Free State Business School, he was influential in
the development of a tailored leadership development programme, offered at the Grain Academy. Mr
De Villiers indicated that Grain SA supports this initiative: “The establishment of a grain academy is in
line with Grain SA’s strategic objectives and we are so excited to partner with Syngenta on delivering
this project. The future of sustainable production lies in our competitiveness and it can only be
improved with ongoing training.”
Jannie de Villiers is an esteemed ‘ambassador’ for South African agriculture and is well-known in
the international agriculture and food security circles. He frequently represents South Africa on the
International Grains Council (where he acted as a keynote speaker in 2004 and 2007), contributed to
the High-Level Conference on World Food Security of the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) in June
2008, and served as Conference Chairperson for the International Association of Operative Millers for
the Middle East and Africa in 2010.
This candidate’s professional standing, his national and international engagements and numerous
leadership positions speaks of a lifetime’s dedication and loyalty towards South African and
international agriculture.
The University of the Free State is honoured to award the Chancellor’s Medal to Mr Johannes Francois
de Villiers.

MS EM OOSTHUIZEN
Elzmarie Oosthuizen started her career as teacher in Mathematics
and Science and was appointed as the subject head for Mathematics,
Physical Science, and Biology (senior phase). Her involvement with
the local Department of Education led to an appointment as the
learning facilitator for Physical and General Science at the Free State
Department of Education. Ms Oosthuizen was promoted to Deputy
Chief Education Specialist: Learning Co-ordinator for Natural Science
in January 2000, followed by a promotion to the position of Chief
Education Specialist: Learning Area Specialisation General Education
Training (GET) within the Free State Department of Education. She
filled this position with excellence for six and a half years before
taking up a position at the University of the Free State.
As the Director of the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
in Natural and Agricultural Sciences, Ms Oosthuizen has proven
her support, loyalty, and dedication towards the UFS students and
staff since May 2009. In this capacity, she is devoted to managing
and promoting the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning,
supporting and promoting learning, teaching, and assessment
among all lecturers within the faculty, as well as co-ordinating and
supporting partnership projects related to the improvement of teaching and learning. Her relentless
efforts to improve teaching and learning, not only within the faculty, but also at governmental, national,
and international levels, confirms her dedication and passion to advance teaching, learning, and
ultimately student performance.
Her passion for teaching and learning inspires and encourages academics to realise the impact of their
efforts. Ms Oosthuizen has successfully initiated the implementation of a programme to promote learning
and teaching in Mathematics, Natural Sciences, Economics, and Agricultural subjects. In addition, she
is actively involved in managing the foundational programmes and bridging programmes for students
who do not meet the minimum requirements for mainstream higher education. Her leadership and
efforts in the foundation and bridging programmes are exceptional – the pass rate of the BSc bridging
programme increased from 34% to 83%. Her dedication to student success is evident in her tireless
efforts to streamline the registration and academic advising processes within the Faculty of Natural and
Agricultural Sciences. Her concern for prospective and current students’ future success is the driving
force in her hands-on approach to registration and advising. Ms Oosthuizen’s unwavering determination
to establish a unit in the Dean’s office to promote excellence in teaching and learning in Natural and
Agricultural Sciences showcases her dedication to her field and her loyalty to the University of the Free
State.
The University of the Free State is honoured to award the Council Medal to Ms Elizabeth Maria
Oosthuizen.
