Two UFS campuses
work together on a Ph.D.
Meeste in Argitektuur
Sestien studente van die Departement Argitektuur het die M.Arch (Prof)-graad ontvang. Dit is die
meeste meestersgrade wat in die departement toegeken is. Van die studente is, van links: Illani
du Plessis, Zanie van Zyl, prof. Jan Smit (Departementele voorsitter), Hendrik Auret en Shawn
Gravel. Hendrik het ook die Corobrik Student van die Jaar-toekenning vir die beste finalejaarstudent
in Argitektuur in Suid-Afrika ontvang.
Dr George Thamae, lecturer in Sesotho Education at
the National University of Lesotho, became the first
student in ten years to receive a doctor’s degree from
the Department of African Studies. It was also the first
time that staff from this department on the Main
Campus in Bloemfontein and the department on the
Qwaqwa Campus worked together to produce a Ph.D.
Dr Thamae’s thesis, entitled: Standardising the
Sesotho orthography: A clinical investigation, serves as
the basis for the proposed standardisation of the
Sesotho orthography with a view to achieve a uniform
system of writing for all speakers of Sesotho, both in
Lesotho and in South Africa. At the graduation were,
from the left: Dr Elias Malete (Acting Principal of the
Qwaqwa Campus and from the Department of African
Studies at the Qwaqwa Campus and co-promoter), Dr
Thamae and Prof. Mohlomi Moleleki (Departmental
Chairperson of the Department of African Studies on the
Main Campus and promoter of Dr Thamae).
