The building is one of several on UCT’s Upper campus, that the fire has damaged.

About 4000 students had to be evacuated and moved to temporary accommodation venues.

UCT has suspended lectures for the rest of the week.

SRC President Declan Dyer says, “The most immediate need will most probably be things like your calculators. Others will need essentials like school learning stationery. This will be for those who either lost it or their belongings were damaged.”
