The University of Cape Town UCT is marking five years since a devastating fire that destroyed parts of the Jagger Library and several other campus buildings.
A commemorative exhibition titled Opportunity in Loss is now reflecting on the tragedy while focusing on renewal and future possibilities.
Five years ago, flames tore through parts of the University of Cape Town campus, causing extensive destruction to the Jagger Library, once considered the heart of academic life, and damaging priceless archival material.
