Construction can now start on “new home” for University of Cape Town’s public governance school

“The Atlantic Philanthropies grant represents the largest single donation ever received by UCT, and is a testament to the vision and impact of the project,” said the university’s interim vice-chancellor Daya Reddy (pictured) in a statement.
