News24 reports that the University of Cape Town (UCT) closed its campuses on Wednesday after a group of protesters allegedly "intimidated and traumatised" university staff.
According to a spokesperson, groups of protesters forced staff out of their offices. The shuttle bus service was at a standstill after protesters threatened drivers and stole their keys. Traffic booms were interfered with and entrances to various parts of the campus were continually being blocked. UCT decided to suspend all academic activities for two weeks after widespread protests against tertiary education fees began last Monday. Vice Chancellor Max Price on Wednesday said the university may have to close for the year if the ongoing #FeesMustFall protests lasted longer than three weeks.
