UCT Drama Department's student season begins at the Little Theatre on Saturday 1 March with the Sam Shepard classic, A Lie of the Mind.

While staff and students were off enjoying the holidays, a range of dedicated teams were busy upgrading classrooms around campus - preparing a flexible classroom environment that will become the new standard for over 170 teaching spaces at UCT. The work forms part of the Classroom Renewal Project, which began more than a year ago and aims to bring all centrally-bookable classrooms up to an agreed standard in terms of physical facilities and audio-visual / information technology.

|
Home advantage couldn't push FNB UCT over the line as the Ikeys fell to a 16-26 defeat to defending champions FNB UP-Tuks on 24 February. The home team had the strong wind at their backs in the first half and made their territorial superiority count early on in the FNB Varsity Cup fourth-round fixture. Captain and scrum half Liam Slatem touched down to open the scoring after stealing the ball from Tuks defender Ryan Nell, with flyhalf Dean Grant converting.

A new Jammie Shuttle stop near Gardens Centre will help UCT students and staff to connect more easily with buses on MyCiTi routes. The Jammie Shuttle previously had only one MyCiTi transfer point at UCT’s Hiddingh Campus, but will now connect with MyCiTi on its way to, and from, Hiddingh Campus.
