JOHANNESBURG – The matrix rewrite will be considered in court on Thursday after a postponement on Wednesday morning.
The Basic Education department defended its decision to ask those enrolled to rewrite the two leaked exams.
Several organizations, including Afriforum, are against the decision, claiming that it is not justified, but the Department insists that the modifications are necessary to protect the integrity of the National Certificate of Older Persons.
One person has been arrested for having links to the leaked documents.
The Department has yet to file a defense affidavit and the matter has moved to Thursday.
According to the spokesman for the Department of Basic Education, Elijah Mhlanga, the reason the department has not submitted the affidavit is that they have been dealing with multiple cases.
“Every time you want to finish In case you receive legal documents from another group or organization, “he says.
“All of these are being dealt with by the same team.” According to Mhlanga, the department only knew about Sadtu’s plan and not those of the other organizations.
