‘’As a result of the damage, these vendors’ outlets will be
closed for repairs from Monday, 19 February 2024. Properties and Services hopes
to complete repairs as soon as possible,’’ said UCT in a statement.
The higher education institution said at least two food
trucks will be set up on the plaza, in the interim, to ensure adequate access
to food for students and staff on upper campus.
‘’Students and staff are reminded that they can also use
the outlets in the Chris Hani building. UCT will monitor the provisioning of
food on Monday and make adjustments if needed to ensure the impact is minimal,’’
it said.
