The High Court in Bloemfontein has halted the implementation of a new language policy adopted for the University of the Free State for 2017 following an urgent application by civil rights group Afriforum. 
This follows a ruling by the high court in July, where it set aside the decision by the University to have English as the sole medium of instruction. At the same time the University has also been granted leave to appeal the matter at the Supreme Court of Appeal.
