Unrest breaks out at CPUT campus
19 September 2017
Cape Town - Private security guards at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology's (CPUT) Mowbray campus released tear gas on Tuesday over apparent unrest there.
"There is some disruption in the business facility," confirmed CPUT spokesperson Lauren Kansley, adding that she had no further details at the time.
"Everyone is out of campus now. The campus is shut down," said one student.
A few minutes later, she said students were told that those who did not have classes for the rest of the day should go home. Those who did, could stay.
