South Africa’s Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube has refuted circulating social media allegations concerning a leak of the 2025 National Senior Certificate (NSC) English Paper 3. Minister Gwarube stated that examination security protocols were functioning as expected and that there was no evidence to support the claims. The Ministry has not disclosed details regarding the source of the false information. This denial aims to quell public anxiety surrounding the integrity of the upcoming examinations. The Department of Basic Education continues to assure the public of its commitment to secure and fair examination processes for all learners in South Africa. Further investigations will be conducted to determine the origin of the misleading reports.
