JUST IN | The matric mathematics paper 2 and physical sciences paper 2 are to be rewritten across SA.

This is according to a statement from basic education minister Angie Motshekga, released to journalists ahead of a media briefing on Friday afternoon.

“The CEM [Council of Education Ministers] decided that a national rewrite of both mathematics paper 2 and physical sciences paper 2 is necessary. Mathematics paper 2 will be written on Tuesday December 15 at 2pm, and physical sciences paper 2 will be written on Thursday December 17 at 9am. “It was not an easy decision to take but one which is necessary under the circumstances. We need to work hard to deal with the human factor in the examination system,” said Motshegka.

Ntsimbi_aygobi 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂they writing 15 n 17 Dec😂😂😂lol 1. Who gonna invigilate the kids cuz teachers r leaving the 15th 2. Some of those kiddies will be drinking the 16th😂😂 bayo fundza nini

MbuyiseniNdlozi Angie can't answer it

MbuyiseniNdlozi Once again the matriculants are paying dearly for Angies incompetence.

Ths is what is fueling bhuti John's anger 😛

MbuyiseniNdlozi Is there anything in this country that can be done without a fuckup.. anything, I ask sincerely

winiledubazane very unfair to matriculants , just when you tell yourself you are done,easy to catch someone who copied

Can’t believe we getting punished because of corruption!

Department of Education is a flop....

She must take responsibility or go home.

angie really is determined to destroy kids’ lives. as if them writing the 2020 nsc isn’t enough torture.

Incompetence and lack of education in the education dept!!!

They knew the papers were leaked well before they were written. Why didn't they print new ones What kind of incompetence is this Useless

The same province known as the source of paper leaks will top other provinces.

What a time to be alive 🙏🏿

Oageng87 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

wendyknowler Who Ever has done this needs to be in JAIL for a LONG time.

Hello,are you interested in alternative source of earning profits through Binary trade investment,I make profits per week with a little startup capital and also instant withdrawal,message me directly for more information!!!. +1((914) 228-4335

🤣🤣🤣

wendyknowler I am curious though as to the remedy. Assuming X% of students got their hands on the paper and cheated, they benefit on 2 papers that are a subset of 2 subjects (out of 6). The marginal benefit is tiny relative to the material damage to the rest of the student population 🤓

tsi

Little angie must take a fall if she has some honor remaining in her

F’ing disgraceful bloody clowns

She is off her rockers.

Is there a reason why anybody who wants to sit for an exam anybody so long as the bring their own stationary can't be allowed to write?

Let them get leaked again

Bayabanyisa shem abo grade 12

This is bullshit. You guys flop then hold the learners accountable for it. How did it leak? Deal with the leak!!!

It’s better that way

What a nightmare 2020 keeps serving.

Is this to accommodate Elliot Page's new pronouns?

Ay, I feel for the matriculants. Stay strong...a decision should have been made on the exam day to write the backup paper.

😁 But they already celebrated pens downs

they have exhausted the questions mos....

EFF thusang tlhe😭

That’s how a few bad apples can mesh things up for the masses ... are we reading into this

Will I get my R2000 back?

But that is unfair to other learners who had prepared for those papers and did not see the leaked papers

Last chance jsteenhuisen

I would break my arm

What if this one will also be leaked.....besides I thought Life Sciences and some other were also leaked so is it going to be a re-write for all? If not how unfair for these lerners and teachers

17th December

Sjoe

So basically South Africa has the same solution for all problems, a few individuals sin and the whole country must suffer. Eskom mismanagement= whole country suffer. State capture by few= whole country suffer. Exam paper leak= whole country suffer. Yah neh
