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.
“The UKZN academic programme is suspended (including tests) with immediate effect until further notice pending further engagements on a sector-wide approach regarding contact classes,” says the university.
