Matric candidates in Western Cape will only get results from 11a.m on Friday
Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga thanked the Class of 2022 for the hard work they put into their studies.
Motshekga was delivering a speech during a celebratory
breakfast at the MTN Innovation Center in Gauteng, on Thursday morning.
The top achievers and their parents were present. Motshekga
encouraged the learners to continue working hard.
"We thank learners for putting in the hours and
avoiding the well-beaten path to failure by being slack. We thank the teachers
for recognising the spark of greatness in these learners and lighting a fire
under. Success beckons success! Go forth and conquer!,’’ said the minister.
Motshekga will officially announce the matric results on
Thursday evening at 6p.m.
This group is the largest full-time cohort of candidates
that sat for the National Senior Certificate exams.

wrote their exams, from midnight. However, for those candidates in the Western
Cape, they will have to wait until 11.am on Friday.
‘’We completely understand that our matric candidates are
eager to get their results. Individuals results will be released in the Western
Cape at 11a.m on Friday as we have done for many years,’’ said Western Cape
Education MEC, David Maynier.
‘’There are a few reasons for this: Principals at schools
across the country only receive the results on the morning of the 20th with the
statement of the results for each learner. They must check the results and
report or confirm any anomalies that they might find, they can then advise
their learners not to panic if there is an error and how to resolve it,’’ he
added.
Maynier said that principals can also identify learners
that may require additional support, whereby the school can then arrange for
counselling services to be available, should it be required.
