The Department of Basic Education cannot confirm if matters were investigated by the SACE as the SACE is independent from the Department. However, the question was referred to the PEDs and the SACE for response. Out of nine (9) PEDs only two (2) have responded. The information would be updated as and when the responses are received from the PEDs and the SACE.
