Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube is expected to brief the media and release findings on the NSC exam leak which was limited to seven schools in Pretoria. Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube is currently releasing the Interim Report of the National Investigative Task Team (NITT) into the 2025 National Senior Certificate (NSC) exam leak, which has been confined to about40 learners at seven schools in Pretoria. Gwarube is expected to outline the investigation’s findings, key recommendations, and the department’s measures to strengthen exam security and maintain public confidence in the NSC system.
Earlier on Friday,UmalusiCEO Dr Mafu Rakometsi confirmed that the exam breach was “localised” and did not undermine the overall credibility of the 2025 NSC results. “While the number of implicated learners currently stands at around 40, there will be consequences for anyone not included in this number should they be discovered later,” Rakometsi said. The NITT, appointed by the Department of Basic Education to investigate the source and spread of the leak, presented its findings to Umalusi on January 6. “The leak was limited to three subjects across seven papers,” Rakometsi said.
