Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) closes all its campuses and orders students to evacuate university residences after an arson attack, according to reports.
The university’s decision follows what the outlets describe as escalating violence at the institution. CPUT moves to restrict access to its sites and requires students living on campus to leave residences immediately. The reporting frames the closures as a response to safety concerns stemming from the attack and the broader situation on or around campus.
Across the available sources, the emphasis is consistent on the same core actions—campus closures and residence evacuation—while offering limited additional detail on the suspected perpetrators, extent of damage, or whether any injuries are reported.
