  Staff from the UCT Jagger Library have been given a window of access to the building to remove any remaining works before they get further damaged.   Cape Town, South Africa (23 April 2021)  – A wildfire broke out early on Sunday morning, 18 April 2021, at Rhodes Memorial and spread to UCT a short while later.

A team from UCT were given a window last night to enter the building and to start collecting as much of its contents as possible. They took to Facebook to ask for donations of cardboard boxes and crates, which will be used to remove books and other items from the libra
