Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube says the results of the 40 matric learners who were caught cheating during their final examinations last year, will be withheld pending the outcome of an independent hearing.
Earlier, the Minister announced that the Interim Report by the National Investigative Task Team NITT into the recent matric exam breach found that the leak was in fact a department employee.
The Task team was setup after 40 matric candidates from eight schools in Tshwane were found to have accessed matric exam papers for English, Mathematics and Physical Science.
