UCT's security level clarified
The University of Cape Town alerted the campus incorrectly this morning that several universities, including UCT, have been declared a level-3 security situation by the national commissioner of the South African Police Service, which, in effect, means that the Public Order Police are in command of the campus. We have now learnt that this is not correct.
