The school in Cape Town older than South Africa’s capital linked to Oxford University

• The University of Cape Town (UCT) has taken possession of the historic Herbert Baker Buildings, which were previously used by the South African College School (SACS).
• The school was originally open to all boys, but became a segregated school in 1905 following the Cape School Boards Act. In 1992, the school was opened to boys of all races.
• SACS has a Rhodes Scholarship open to its alumni, which covers the full tuition and accommodation for a person to continue their studies at Oxford University in England.
