Fires continued throughout the night in Cape Town and destroyed the country's oldest windmill.

Shocking, but I had to laugh at the bolded bit though grin Which university would you have preferred got burnt?!

p.s. The UKZN library was torched in 2016, but it was by students.

I would not prefer for any university to burn.I'm actually more concerned about the burnt information in the books and least so about the structure because I know that can be rebuilt within a short period of time.


I remember that,and that's my first thought in my mind was humans even in this incident.

They'll come under a lot of criticism if they don't have backup, considering their global status. But I see they have a digital library collection but I can't tell how large it is.

I just heard the mayor Dan Plato now saying two lower floors of the library had fire resistant doors so they were not burnt. But says priceless artworks were destroyed.

Also that 4 people received treatment and one is in a critical condition in hospital.

if it were to be in Nigeria, some politicians would contract some hoodlums to take fire to the administrative block and make sure it burns completely. Then you'll begin to hear strange figures in the news

Most book in that library are piece of lies concocted by the Europeans which is one of their great tools in enslaving Africa...

Am only concerned about the students that's all,not even the building nor the crap books in the library.
