Motshekga must account to Parliament for Limpopo exam crisis
17 November 2015
We warned Minister Motshekga last week that the irregular appointment of a printing company in Limpopo might result in examination papers being leaked. With the news today that the NSC (Matric) Life Sciences paper was leaked, it is apparent that our fears were justified.
The question is: why did Minister Motshekga opt to stay in Paris last week when it was clear that a crisis was imminent?
If Minister Motshekga had heeded our calls to come back and deal with the exam problems in Limpopo, this crisis may well have been averted. Her decision to stay overseas speaks volumes about where her priorities lie.
