Institutions around South Africa had to shutdown due to rise in Coronavirus cases. This also comes after a Univeristy of Wits students tested positive for the virus.

We saw the vice-chancellor of the University of Johannesburg’s Vice-Chancellor Tshilidzi Marwala  shutdown all classes as well as graduation ceremonies at the univeristy.

The University of Kwa-Zulu Natal and the University of Cape Town has also joined the universities closing down amid the Coronavirus outbreak in South Africa.
