Legal battle to publish matric results
The Star
|January 07, 2026
IR believes learners could receive their results from schools or be notified via SMS
AFRIFORUM, which is a party in the court battle against the Information Regulator (IR) in the fight regarding the publication of matric results in newspapers, said it will strongly consider turning to court to obtain an urgent order for the results to be published next week.
Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube is expected to announce the national results on January 12, but as the IR filed a notice to appeal last month’s judgment, which gave the green light for the publication of the results, this is automatically suspended.
Alana Bailey, head of cultural affairs at AfriForum, said that if it turns out that the results will not be published in newspapers early next week, AfriForum will most definitely consider turning to court. In its notice to the parties, including the DBE, the State Attorneys made it clear that the DBE remains prohibited from publishing the matric results in newspapers and that it must comply with the enforcement notice.
