The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has issued a stern warning to matriculants against cheating.

NSC exams are set to begin on Monday, 30 October.

Education MEC David Maynier: “The candidate’s results could be nullified and they could even be barred from writing one to three subsequent exams, and if the candidate is found to be involved in question paper leaks, they could face criminal prosecution.
“Given the severity of these consequences, the message is clear: cheating is simply not worth it,” added Maynier.
