Basic education minister Siviwe Gwarube.
THE MATRIC EXAM SYSTEM IS UNDER SIEGE. In a SHOCKING DISCLOSURE that exposes a CULTURE OF CORRUPTION, the Department of Basic Education admits that last year’s final exams were COMPROMISED BY AI, INSIDERS, and a sophisticated CHEATING RACKET. At the heart of the scandal? A DBE OFFICIAL who STOLE official marking guidelines and gave them to her SON, while students used ChatGPT to GENETICALLY ENGINEER perfect answers.
This isn’t just cheating; it’s a SYSTEMIC FAILURE. The leaked papers for Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and English Home Language were trafficked via USB drives, WhatsApp, and secret online channels. But the real horror lies in the future: experts now warn that the AI tools meant to educate are poised to BECOME THE ULTIMATE LEAK. “If students prompt the correct AI with the correct prompt,” one researcher chillingly stated, “we may end up with the unintended consequence of the AIs… LEAKING THE PAPERS.” The very technology meant to secure our future is being weaponized to DESTROY its credibility.
Minister Siviwe Gwarube’s promises of “stronger digital security” and GPS-tracked trucks ring HOLLOW. This plague of leaks has festered since 2014, with insiders brazenly selling matric marks BEFORE official release. The truth is laid bare: our national qualifications are being AUCTIONED to the highest bidder in a digital black market. Umalusi’s approval of the 2025 results is a FACADE, a desperate attempt to plaster over a crumbling institution.
We are nurturing a generation taught that integrity is obsolete and that every lock can be picked with the right tech. When the guardians of education become its greatest vulnerability, what future are we actually certifying? The entire foundation of meritocracy is now ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
