To the Matric Class of 2025, as we anticipate your 2025 matric results, I want to commend each of you for the effort, discipline, and resilience you have shown throughout this important journey. Completing the National Senior Certificate examinations is a significant milestone, and you should be proud of how far you have come.   To those who may not have achieved the results they hoped for, I want to remind you that this is not the end of your journey. There are opportunities to continue, improve, and succeed. At 18:00 tomorrow, we will announce the results of the class of 2025 and award the top achieving learners across the country. We look forward to sharing these results with all of you.
