There was an uproar from pupils and teachers after the writing of the paper on November 7 when they discovered that a seven-mark question in trigonometry was “unsolvable”.

Umalusi spokesperson Biki Lepota said the panel had been specifically tasked to investigate how the error crept in and why it was not detected between the examiners and internal and external moderators up to the printing stage.
