Matric exams continue without major hitch
The matric exams will head into its fourth week on Monday with the Department of Basic Education saying the first three weeks ran without any major hiccups.
The department’s Elijah Mhlanga says Eskom has managed to
prevent load shedding impacting on the exams.
“We are also grateful that Eskom keeps us informed about the progress regarding the power supply, it helps in that we are also able to plan… but so far there has not been any disruptions.”
