Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga says the Matric Class of 2022 showed resilience and courage. This as they went through COVID-19 challenges during the two crucial high school years – essential for preparing for matric. Motshekga has been addressing top achievers in Fairlands, Johannesburg, ahead of the release of the results.
