The Department of Basic Education has indicated that it is sticking with its decision, to allow covid-19 positive Grade 12 to write their end-of-year examinations. The Department this morning issued an updated directive, saying that guardians of covid-19 positive learners have to inform the learner’s school of the positive status of the candidate. This is to ensure that the necessary arrangements could be made, for the learner to write his or her exam in isolation.

May-co Member for Transport, Felicity Purchase, says the fencing initiative provides a form of access control at the facilities, and allows for commuters to be screened for the virus, before they enter facilities. To date, the fences have been installed at public-transport facilities in Nomzamo, Somerset West, Mfuleni, Nyanga Central, Nyanga Junction, Parow and Bellville.
