Inspiring excellence, transforming lives
through quality, impact, and care.
ABOUT THE UFS
The University of the Free State (UFS) has a proud
history as one of the oldest, most respected
institutions of higher education in South Africa.
It opened its doors in Bloemfontein in 1904 as
the Grey University College, with six students
in the Humanities. Today it is a multi-campus
institution, with two diverse campuses in
Bloemfontein and one in Qwaqwa in the scenic
Eastern Free State, accommodating more than
40 000 students in its seven faculties (Economic
and Management Sciences, Education, Health
BLOEMFONTEIN CAMPUS Sciences, the Humanities, Law, Natural and
Agricultural Sciences, Theology and Religion),
with an increasing number of international
students and associates, and an ever-widening
scope of active involvement in and contribution
to its surrounding communities.
For the past 118 years, the UFS has been
delivering quality graduates who have made
their mark in various sectors. What sets the
institution apart is its holistic student support
initiatives, enabling it to achieve some of the
highest success rates in the country. Delivering
students who are in high demand in the
global job market, remains a top priority. An
established network of industry partners and
close collaboration with the public and private
sectors, as well as a continuous process of
transformation and curriculum renewal, dovetail
QWAQWA CAMPUS to produce highly employable graduates.
UFS research efforts are driven by dedicated
scholars, some of whom are international
leaders in their fields, with industry and social
impact and real-world application.
Through the principle of engaged scholarship,
the UFS responds to societal needs, using its
scholarly and professional expertise with an
intentional public purpose and benefit.
The UFS is an institution that goes all out to
provide its students and staff with an
outstanding university experience. Anchored in
a value bedrock of social justice, respect, and
caring, the institution has managed to remain
steadfastly relevant in a challenging and ever-
changing national higher education landscape.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE UFS CREST OVER
MORE THAN A CENTURY
1904
Up to 1935, the same coat of arms was used as the Grey College School.
1935
By 1935, with the name change to University College of the Orange Free State, the coat of arms fell
into disuse, especially among students.
1947
In 1947, an agreement between management and students led to the new motto Per Fidem ad
Sapientiam (Through faith to wisdom).
1950
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 0 11
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.

With her thesis, titled: CHRONIC DISEASES OF LIFESTYLE: A RISK ASSESSMENT AND HEALTH PROMOTION
FRAMEWORK FOR A RURAL AND URBAN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SETTING IN THE FREE STATE PROVINCE, the
candidate contributes to scholarship on the burden of the chronic diseases of lifestyle (CDL) in the Free State province. With
this contribution, she focused on the principles of risk assessment and health promotion in rural and urban communities to
minimise the negative impact of CDL. Using a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods, the candidate
identified CDL risk factors in the communities as well as barriers and training needs for the effective implementation of CDL
programmes. The study presents a tailor-made community-based patient-centred approach to facilitate the development of
focused and effective primary healthcare interventions for CDL in resource-constrained areas of the Free State province.

With her thesis, titled: ACCURACY OF LUTETIUM-177 SPECT ACTIVITY QUANTIFICATION AND PATIENT-SPECIFIC
DOSIMETRY: A MONTE CARLO STUDY, the candidate makes a valuable contribution to the body of knowledge for
personalised dosimetry in radionuclide therapy using hybrid SPECT/CT imaging. The study used patient-specific voxel-based
models created from Computed Tomography images and incorporated Monte Carlo simulations of SPECT images to mimic
clinically realistic Lutetium-177 activity distribution patient images. These SPECT images allowed her to virtually assess
the accuracy of SPECT activity quantification in the simulated patients and thoroughly recognize the many factors related

to patient-specific radionuclide-based therapy planning. This novel method of virtually evaluating the accuracy of activity
quantification has enabled the candidate to determine the accuracy of personalised dosimetry for Lutetium-177 radionuclide
therapy. The study will benefit future patients receiving Lutetium-177 radionuclide therapy. Thus far, two articles have been
published in international accredited journals from this thesis, and a third manuscript has been submitted for publication.

With her thesis, titled: AN IMAGE GUIDED ADAPTIVE RADIOTHERPY STRATEGY FOR CERVIX CANCER TREATMENT
BASED ON EQUIVALENT UNIFORM DOSE, the candidate contributes to the knowledge on external beam radiotherapy for
cervix cancer patients focusing on designing an approach that balances workload and excellence. Image data of cervix cancer
was used to quantify tumor and organ motion. Innovative radiotherapy treatment methods were studied in an attempt to reduce
toxicities associated with treatment, while maintaining tumoricidal doses. Several approaches to perform treatment adaptation
to a changing tumour environment, while retaining a minimum effort workload, were investigated. The outcomes of this study
established several clinically feasible solutions for high quality treatments in both low/high income countries. Even with limited
resources, patients can now be treated with exceptional quality techniques, irrespective of the equipment available for this.

baboon as a preclinical model to study human haemostatic disorders and possible pharmaceutical interventions. Currently,
preclinical animal models remain the only viable option to evaluate the safety and efficacy of these drugs before using them
in humans. With this study, the largest of its sort ever performed, the candidate characterises similarities and differences
between the Chacma baboon and human haemostatic systems and their implications for preclinical haemostatic drug testing.
This study validates the use of the Chacma baboon model and provides important recommendations for the refinement of
the model, which will allow for the improved evaluation of treatment options of these debilitating and often fatal haemostatic
disorders.

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 a great 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 aan andere toedien nie.

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 own personality 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 greatest of these is love.
