Update on campus activities

16 February 2026

Dear colleagues and students

The University of Cape Town (UCT) notes with concern that some of the entry points to campus were momentarily blocked on the morning of Monday, 16 February 2026.

Campus Protection Services (CPS) has attended to these incidents and the affected entry points have been cleared. CPS is monitoring developments across campus.

At this stage, academic activities and university operations are proceeding as planned. Course convenors and line managers will provide more specific updates should circumstances change.

The university will share further updates as and when necessary through the internal communication platforms, the website and official social media platforms.
