However, Sadtu said it may approach the courts over the decision.In a statement, the union said the decision was “unfair and premature” and that it was considering legal action against the department and Umalusi — the examinations quality assurer.
“Preparing for the 2020 matric examinations was not easy under the Covid-19 conditions and the learners’ mental health and readiness for rewrite is a big issue,” said the union. “The decision has left many learners and teachers distraught and frustrated. It undermines the work of our teachers and learners who worked under difficult circumstances due to Covid-19. Learners are being punished for something that is not of their making, as only a few saw the papers.”on Sunday, basic education spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said the department would not take the threat of a legal challenge lying down.
Meanwhile on social media, many echoed Sadtu's statement, saying the rewriting of exams was unfair to many pupils. Here is a snapshot of what social media users had to say: I’ve been told that a more accurate figure is around 0.057% but that still shouldn’t take away from the fact that less than 1% of the matric students who take pure maths DID NOT have access to the paper.
