Dealing with environmental factors that cause ill-health on a personal level

It was noon on Sunday, 18 April, when Professor Kelly Chibale, the warden of Smuts Hall men’s
residence, knew the historical building was in danger. The fire that had started in the Table
Mountain National Park quickly spread on the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) upper campus.
Community members, businesses, CBOs and NGOs went out in a frenzy to quell the raging fire.
They forgot about their personal differences and worked as a unit to fight the fire.

Students at UCT were devasted as their study goals may be thwarted. Some were already
experiencing emotional health issues. They were worried about their assignments and what will
become of them if everything went up in flames.

Some were concerned about tertiary education funding, if the year was wasted. The majority did
not have the required registration fee. They were assisted by family members who could not
further assist them. The personal and social challenges brought by the delays in the NSFAS
funding makes things even worse.
