CORRUPTION AT THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM: Your Child’s Future Was SOLD By Insiders.
MINISTER GWARUBE stands before cameras, vowing “credibility,” but the explosive, damning evidence leaked to the media tells a DIFFERENT story. The 2025 national matric exams were COMPROMISED. The scandal starts WHERE THE PAPERS ARE BORN: inside the Department of Basic Education’s own SECURE SYSTEM.
A department OFFICIAL, with a child writing the exams, is IMPLICATED. Their child shared the stolen goods. A second official is under investigation. This isn’t a student cheat sheet—this is a LEAK FROM THE TOP.
The proof is in the photos: Minister Siviwe Gwarube at the podium, flanked by investigators, attempting damage control. The National Investigative Task Team’s own forensic evidence points the finger BACK at the department. They used digital forensics to trace the leak of English, Mathematics, and Science papers to SEVEN Pretoria schools, impacting 40 candidates. But the REAL number is the 900,000 honest learners whose futures were put on the line.
Who stays SILENT? The system protects ITSELF. The department REFUSES to name the schools. They talk of “individual culpability” while the institution escapes blame. Umalusi CEO Mafu Rakometsi, pictured sternly in reports, warns cheaters could face prison, but will the powerful insiders ever see a cell?
This breach was CONTAINED, they say. But the recommendations scream the truth: security protocols were a JOKE, invigilation was LAX, and insiders had free reign. This is a pattern of FAILURE. If they can sell the exams this time, what’s next?
Your child’s certificate is now a question mark, and the people in charge are the ones who left the door wide open.
