CAPE TOWN - A R10,000 reward is on offered for information that could help authorities in their investigation into a fire that ravaged parts of Cape Town in April.It gutted several University of Cape Town buildings, among other structures.Independent investigator, Rob Erasmus, examined CCTV footage showing a vehicle pulling off onto the shoulder of Philip Kgosana Drive on the morning of 18 April.
It proceeded to drive very slowly until it reached a point close to where the fire originated and then drove off and proceeded down Nelson Mandela Drive - two minutes later, smoke was seen.Erasmus said that he couldn't make out the vehicle's registration."We're not going to give, so at this stage, the idea is to offer a reward to the public. We know the make and model of the vehicle but we will not be providing that information to the public.
"We had staff that were injured, heritage assets that were destroyed, we had massive disruption of our city, we were very lucky that at UCT, flammable stools were not ignited. Whoever started this fire put in damage the lives of lots of students."
