Just a week after the leak of the Maths Paper 2 exam, the Basic Education Department has reported yet another leak. In a statement, the Department says Physical Science Paper 2 was circulated before the commencement of the exam.

Minister Motshekga says the matric Mathematics Paper Two was leaked to eight provinces in the country but rewriting the paper will be the last resort.

The Department has resolved to dispatch security to provinces to re-check systems. The last matric paper will be written on the 15th of December.
