Basic education department rejects social media claims of ECD bursaries for matriculants

The department said the claim is incorrect and has no basis in any official communication.

“Departmental and ministerial announcements are disseminated exclusively through the department’s verified and authorised communication platforms.” It said any information circulated outside the department should be regarded as inaccurate and unauthenticated. The department urged the public to be vigilant and rely solely on credible, official sources.
