Speaking on Friday morning, Lerule-Ramakhanya said Limpopo will look to improve on its seventh place in the provincial rankings.


 


"The class of 2023 has really made the province proud. The province has indeed outperformed itself qualitatively and quantitatively. 


 


"By all means, we have to keep moving, improving, excelling and performing.  We accordingly issue a stern warning to anyone who'd want to derail this fast-moving train.”


 


The MEC said the 2023 matric results show that hard work always pays off in the end.


 


"This is the hard work by our districts, the circuit, the schools as well as pupils. What should resonate with us, as we announce these results, is that there is no substitute  for hard work, and a reward is always within reach where hard work is involved."
