NEXT PREVIOUS CSI 19 Mar 2024 Meet FNB UWC's mascot Cara The Caracal! For decades, members of the University of the Western Cape (UWC) community, particularly those involved in sports, have colloquially been referred to as “Bushies”. However, for some, this term carries apartheid connotations, is considered derogatory, and lacks any substance.With these concerns in mind, the university’s leadership has decided to bid farewell to the old moniker and embrace a fresh identity: the Caracals. This new name draws inspiration from the stealthy wild cat which roams the university’s nature reserve. Mandla Gagayi, UWC’s Director of Sport and a member of the renaming committee, explained: “The caracal’s characteristics mirror those of UWC students and staff — resilient, agile, well-honed and capable of punching above its weight. You will be surprised how a caracal takes down an animal twice its size. Our unique animal is right here on our doorstep, representing what we stand for. Let’s embrace that name.” Gagayi noted that some alumni have long voiced concerns about using the term “Bushies” and that the association with this term and their past experiences could be why some are reluctant to participate in university activities.Recognising the need for change, the university initiated a renaming process in 2021 involving various departments and committees. “The term ‘Bushies’ is not even an official name; it’s not part of any institutional policy. It’s simply a term that supporters and individuals adopted. This made it easier for us to navigate the change, as we’re not altering policy but merely shifting the narrative,” Gagayi said. A thorough consultation process ensued, with the university community submitting proposed names and motivations. Despite over 30 suggestions, the name “caracal” emerged consistently, with diverse motivations, yet all aligned with the essence of UWC. Gagayi emphasised that this change is crucial for the university’s transformation, which is part of a broader redress process. “We cannot cling to the artefacts of apartheid; they must find a place in the archives or museums while we introduce things that are representative of the current times. This shift represents our commitment to moving forward as a formerly disadvantaged university.” Gagayi also encouraged the university community to embrace the new mascot by incorporating it into various events. Director of the Department for Institutional Advancement Professor Anesh Singh echoed Gagayi’s sentiments and said the name change tells few stories. “It is a name shift but also talks about the uniqueness of UWC as well as the natural fauna and flora we have on campus. UWC is the third greenest campus in Africa.” Prof Singh added that symbolism is important, and imaging the caracal will be more straightforward. “Nobody knew how the Bushie should look like. At least it’s easier with the caracal. Its strength lies in the winning streak. Now, we will shift branding and make it more visible on campus and in the public domain.” BACK FAN ZONE VIEW ALL VIEW ALL SportPesa and UFS tackle gambling head-on with student awareness workshop 23 April 2022 READ CSI Time to show your moves in the FNB Groove dance challenge 23 April 2022 READ Competition STEERS to bring real vibes, flavour and match-day moments to FNB Varsity Cup 2026 23 April 2022 READ Competition Varsity Cup Varsity Shield Young Guns Varsity Cup Women Tickets Teams Fan Zone News Videos Photo Gallery About © 2023 Varsity Cup.

NEXT PREVIOUS CSI 22 May 2026 SportPesa and UFS tackle gambling head-on with student awareness workshop The University of the Free State (UFS), in partnership with SportPesa, recently hosted a Responsible Gambling Awareness Workshop on as part of the institution's broader Lekgotla Programme — a platform rooted in collective dialogue and student well-being. Held at the Steve Biko Building on the Bloemfontein Campus, the three-hour session brought together students, mental health professionals, law enforcement, and industry representatives to confront a growing challenge on university campuses: problem gambling. Gambling is increasingly visible in student life, manifesting through sports betting, online betting, and card games. Left unaddressed, it contributes to financial stress, anxiety, depression, and declining academic performance. SportPesa's Compliance Consultant, Arumugam Consulting, walked students through practical responsible gambling tools — including self-exclusion options, cooling-off periods, and intervention triggers — while Managing Director Dean Delaney delivered opening remarks virtually. HPCSA-registered counsellor Samuel Pillay explored the psychological dimension of gambling, unpacking dopamine-driven reward cycles and early warning signs of problem behaviour. "Your life matters — be the hero who is always in control of it. Push yourself to achieve your academic goals," Pillay urged students. He was equally direct on the financial stakes: "You can never use the funding of your studies for gambling." Representatives from the Free State Gambling, Liquor and Tourism Authority presented national statistics and support structures, and SAPS Captain Diresh Naidoo addressed the risks associated with illegal gambling operations. The workshop forms part of a three-campus dialogue series — spanning the South, Bloemfontein, and Qwaqwa campuses — designed to equip students with the knowledge, tools, and support networks to make responsible choices. The Lekgotla Programme reaffirms UFS's commitment to holistic student development: creating safe spaces where difficult conversations happen, stigma is reduced, and practical help is made accessible. For support, contact the UFS Student Counselling Department or reach out to the National Responsible Gambling Programme helpline. The National Responsible Gambling Programme (NRGP) helpline number in South Africa is toll-free at 0800 006 008. You can also reach them via WhatsApp at 076 675 0710 for confidential counselling and support.
