According to the Department of Education, Matric results are expected to be released on 21 January 2022. Elijah Mhlanga, spokesperson for the Department of Basic Education said local government elections and the Covid-19 pandemic are two major causes for the delayed results. “It must also be remembered that the Covid-19 pandemic is still around; as such it is unfair and unwise to expect things to be normal. The date for the release of matric results is not late, but rather according to their schedule… even before Covid-19, the issue of anxiety was there.”

Ye fans were in for a treat last night when he released the music video for “Heaven and Hell” from his latest album Donda. The music video featured on the Yeezy Gap commercial aired on ESPN during the College Football Playoff National Championship.
