# The Cape Peninsula University of Technology has closed all its campuses and residences following escalating student unrest. The decision comes after an arson attack at the Bellville campus, where the Old Education building was set alight. No injuries were reported. Academic activities have been suspended, while students have been ordered to evacuate residences. The protests are linked to grievances over student finances, historical debt, residence fees and proposed registration requirements. CPUT says campuses will remain closed until further notice.
