Deputy President of TUS Students Union says of nightclubs reopening.
Guidelines for reopening Nightclubs are still being finalised, with doors due to open in a matter of hours.

On Instagram the club says it's really disappointed and apologises to everyone who was expecting to come and dance at the venue tonight.
