NATIONAL NEWS - The Department of Basic Education has confirmed a possible breach of matric results exams, prompting an investigation involving State Security and the Hawks.

According to The Witness, Minister Siviwe Gwarube told the media about the possible breach earlier today, expressing concern over the exploitation of pupils.

“They have been preying on innocent learners and siphoning them of money,” Gwarube said.

“We want an arrest to be made, and are confident of this.”

Gwarube said State Security and the Hawks will join the department in investigating the leak.

The investigation comes amid concerns over a Johannesburg-based company, Edumarks, which advertised matric results for a fee of R100. The company claimed to release results, including subjects and percentages, via email with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Gwarube is expected to release the 2024 matric results at 18:00.
