I am pleased to be announcing the results of all nine provinces today, including the results of Mpumalanga. As you know, Umalusi, the Council for Quality Assurance in General and Further Education and Training, took the decision on Monday 4 January 2010 to delay the approval of the release of the results for Mpumalanga while their rigorous checking of the province's examination results continued. The Umalusi Chairperson, Prof Volmink, informed me last night that following a rigorous process, the Council found no evidence of a systemic problem in Mpumalanga, and was therefore satisfied that the Mpumalanga results are credible and could thus be released by the Department.
