SINCE the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, issued an order, by agreement, that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) may publish the matric results in newspapers across the country, only stating the learners' exam number alongside the results, the department has diligently abided by this, without any complaints from the learners.

This is according to AfriForum, to obtain clarity on the way forward as to whether the results may once again be published when they are released early next year.

This has been an ongoing issue since 2022, when Judge Anthony Millar agreed to an order that the results may be published, as long as the candidates are not identified.
