The Western Cape High Court yesterday granted an interim interdict to ensure that operations at UCT continue, says a News24 report. Vice-Chancellor Max Price said the institution would have preferred not to have pursued this route, but that the actions of some of the protesters left them ‘no other option’.

‘We are deeply concerned for the safety of staff and students alike (including protesters) and we are extremely worried that the violence and unlawfulness that some protesters are engaging in presents a real risk to life and limb,’ he said. ‘The interim interdict also prohibits the disruption of exams, libraries, research and other laboratories, and the ability of any of the university’s employees to do their work.’
