Lawyers disputed the relevance of the argument that the department was fulfilling the Protection of Personal Information Act
The Pretoria high court has granted an urgent application by an 18-year-old matric pupil to reverse basic education minister Angie Motshekga’s decision not to publish matric results on newspaper platforms.
The pupil’s application was supported by AfriForum and Maroela Media.
The court ordered the department “to publish the National Senior Certificate results on public platforms (media platforms), as was the practice in previous years, concurrently with making available the results to the schools that had been attended by the learners”.
