A ferocious wildfire in South Africa damaged several buildings at the prestigious University of Cape Town on Sunday and forced its students to evacuate.
The blaze engulfing part of Table Mountain began earlier in the day on Devils Peak before quickly spreading up the slopes, officials said.
The inferno led to the closure of several roads and blanketed the area with heavy smoke.
“All UCT students have been evacuated from campus by emergency services support staff,” the university said in a statement.
