CAPE TOWN: For the next six to seven days, non-profit organisation Gift of the Givers will continue its efforts to assist University of Cape Town (UCT) students with three meals a day, toiletries and counselling.
The organisation provides about 12 000 meals daily to the 4 000 or so UCT students who were evacuated from their residences as a fire swept through parts of Table Mountain and the university. The fire started on Sunday morning.
