# The University of Fort Hare says it is working on recovery efforts following this week’s devastating arson attacks during students protests. UFH Property and Services Manager, Buhle Shandu says while the total cost of restoration is estimated to be between 300-million-rand and 500-million-rand, the brunt of the destruction goes far beyond infrastructure. Shandu says along with buildings, years of research, institutional knowledge, and irreplaceable memories were lost to the flames. He adds that they estimate it could take up to two years to restore what was lost.
