"UCT decided to book us hotel rooms for extra safety. #capetownfire" he captioned the snaps.
While the fires are a tragedy, a lot of people seemed jealous of the young man and the fact that he was staying in a hotel. Soon many hilarious and very silly comments were made about what other institutions would do if they found themselves in a similar situation.
Read a few of their comments below:

"This other institution would hire Putco buses to take us home."
@underscoreurb said:
"If it was TUT students they would’ve been walking from Pretoria to Limpopo."
@NOLO__B said:
"At least you guys would get buses, some of us we would have been told to wait outside until further instructions, then boom you see the people who are supposed to help you go home."
@nc_rikhotso said:
"Wits would have sent us home."

Briefly News also reported that a raging fire in Cape Town has caused a lot of destruction in the area. Some of the many affected are University of Cape Town students, many of whom belong to the Fuller House student residence. The Gift of the Givers organisation has stepped in to help these students.
Heading online, the organisation shared a touching and heartwarming post about how they have stepped in to provide meals for about 4k students whose student housing was affected by the fires that have plagued the area.
"#GiftOfTheGivers responds to #UniversityofCapeTown Fuller House (students' residence) fire. Our teams have responded by preparing meals for 4 000 students for this evening. UCT has requested #GiftoftheGivers to manage the feeding and other essentials for the next week" they captioned snaps of the fires.
