The South African Democratic Teachers Union says it would today file an urgent court application, to interdict the department of Basic Education’s decision, to have Matrics rewrite two of their exams.

Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga on Friday announced that the Mathematics paper 2 would be re-written on December 15, and Physical Science paper 2, on December 17.
