The Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) would like to wish the Matric Class of 2021 the best as they embark upon their National Senior Certificate (NSC) examinations tomorrow.

We are well aware that for the second year, learners have had to continue with their schooling under the challenging conditions created by the Covid-19 pandemic. The IFP would like to acknowledge the hard work and perseverance needed to get to this point, and encourage all Matrics to stay focussed as they approach the final hurdle.

There will be more than enough time to celebrate after the examinations.

We would like to remind the Matrics of the importance of giving of their best, so that they get the best possible results. Good results are the key to getting access to tertiary education, as well as bursaries and other types of support.

The IFP would also like to convey our sincere thanks to the teachers, parents, and guardians, who have accompanied the Matrics on this journey.

As examinations begin, and place Matrics and teachers under stress, we ask that communities rally around them, and provide support.

Good luck for the examinations, Matrics - we trust that all your hard work will be rewarded.
