Out of town matriculant relieved she can receive her results online

Pupils were informed last week that matric exam results would not be published online or in newspapers because of a ruling that this would be in contravention of the Protection of Personal Information Act. This has been reversed by court order.An 18-year-old matric pupil, Anlé Spies, who was the first applicant in a bid to reverse basic education minister Angie Motshega’s decision not to publish matric exam results on media platforms, says she is happy the tradition will be retained.

On Tuesday judge Anthony Millar ordered the department “to publish the National Senior Certificate results on public platforms , as was the practice in previous years, concurrently with making available the results to the schools that had been attended by the pupils”.The pupil’s application was supported by AfriForum and Maroela Media.

Spies, through her legal representation, Hurter Spies Inc, said the department’s decision would result in grave inconvenience for her as she completed her matric in Pretoria but lives 1,000km away from the school, outside Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape.
