DBE official leaked papers to son
A DEPARTMENT of Basic Education (DBE) human resources official has been identified as the source of a localised but significant leak of 2025 National Senior Certificate (NSC) examination papers, with her Grade 12 son acting as the primary distributor.
This explosive revelation was made yesterday by Professor Chika Sehoole, chairperson of the National Investigative Task Team (NITT), as the country counts down to the release of the 2025 NSC results on Tuesday.
The scandal, which the NITT concluded was "localised and limited," implicates 40 learners across eight schools in the Tshwane area. The results for these 40 candidates will be temporarily withheld pending formal irregularity hearings, announced Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube during a joint media briefing with Sehoole following the release of the NITT's interim report.
