Government congratulates the Class of 2025 on achieving an exceptional National Senior Certificate (NSC) pass rate of 88 %, marking the highest pass rate in the country.  Notably, Kwa-Zulu Natal topped the rankings with a pass rate of 90.6%, with all other provinces performing at over 80%. For the first time, all 75 school districts have achieved a pass rate of 80% and above. Over 900 000 learners wrote the 2025 NSC examination, making it the largest class to write the examination in South Africa’s history. 

This achievement reflects positive growth in learner performance and is a clear indication of the hard work, resilience and commitment demonstrated by learners throughout their schooling journey.This success is the result of a collective effort involving learners, educators, school leadership, parents, caregivers and education stakeholders across the system. 

Government is particularly encouraged by strong performance in key subjects and the growing number of learners qualifying for Bachelor, Diploma and Higher Certificate passes. These results provide a strong foundation for increased participation in post-school education and training, and for the development of critical skills required by the economy. 

While we celebrate this achievement, government remains mindful of learners who did not achieve the results they had hoped for. 

These learners are reminded that an examination outcome alone does not define their worth or future prospects. Government, through the Department of Basic Education and its partners, will ensure that psychosocial support services are accessible to learners during this period.

Learners experiencing emotional distress, anxiety or disappointment are encouraged to seek support through the following free and confidential services:

Childline South Africa: 116 (24-hour toll-free service for children and young people)

South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG -0800 567 567 (24-HOUR TOLL-FREE):

Suicide Crisis Line: 0800 567 567

Cipla WhatsApp Chat Line : 076 882 2775

Learners who did not pass or get the results that they hoped for are further encouraged to explore the Second Chance Matric Programme, supplementary examinations, and alternative education and training pathways. 

The Second Chance Programme is provided free of charge to candidates. These pathways provide meaningful opportunities for learners to complete their schooling or acquire market-relevant skills.

Government reaffirms its commitment to ensuring that no learner is left behind and that every young person is supported to realise their full potential.

Once again, government congratulates the Class of 2025 and wishes all learners success on their future endeavours.

JOHN STEENHUISEN NOT GUILTY UBER EATS BILLS

Today, the DA’s Federal Executive Committee met to consider and adopt a preliminary investigation report into allegations against John Steenhuisen and Dion George.

The preliminary investigation was led by the Chairperson of the Federal Legal Commission, Glynnis Breytenbach.

The report, adopted by the Federal Executive, contains findings and recommendations on the way forward.

One of the allegations the FLC investigated was that the Leader had misappropriated party funds through the use of his party-issued credit card. The report found that the expenditure on the card had been fully reconciled, that there was no prima facie evidence of misappropriation, and that the limited number of personal expenses had been adequately explained and reimbursed.

The FLC recommended that the policy on the use of party credit cards be strengthened by the Federal Finance Committee.

The Fedex accepted the FLC recommendation that a disciplinary inquiry be instituted to determine whether either or both John Steenhuisen or Dion George violated sections of the DA’s federal constitution, relating to bringing the party into disrepute, reflecting negatively on the party, and undermining internal co-operation within the party.

The Fedex further resolved to require all parties involved to “cease and desist” from publicly discussing or airing disagreements relating to this matter, either themselves or through proxies, until such time as the FLC inquiry is finalised. Section 3.1.5.9 of the DA’s constitution provides for the cessation of membership of any party member who violates this warning.

The Fedex resolved to refer to the FLC process:

•Allegations regarding the abuse of government resources.

•Public communication following the submission of complaints to the Public Protector.

•The refusal of a former member of George’s ministerial staff to co-operate with the investigation.

•The leaking of internal financial information from the party.

The Fedex requested the FLC to pursue all the inquiries on an expedited basis, giving it priority over other pending matters.

The DA takes all allegations of impropriety against its public representations very seriously.

We will continue to hold all our representatives to account for their conduct in public life.

⁠The DA is committed to following due process in the handling of internal disciplinary matters and expects party members to respect the outcomes of this preliminary report and further inquiries, on which future decisions of the Fedex will be based.

⁠The DA remains committed to fighting for South Africans and is well advanced in preparations for the 2026 local government election, where we aim to increase our political footprint across the country by ensuring that our broken cities and towns are rescued from ANC-led collapse.
