According to Times Live, Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube assured South Africans that the integrity of the 2024 matric results remains intact despite a potential breach. Reports surfaced that a company, Edumarks, was selling matric results for R99.90, raising concerns about how the data was acquired and the accuracy of the results. Some individuals claimed they paid but could not access the results. The Hawks and state security are investigating the breach, which is suspected to have occurred during the final stages of result verification. Gwarube emphasized the department’s commitment to ensuring secure systems and promised accountability if the breach originated internally. She condemned the exploitation of pupils and parents by platforms profiting from the leak.
