20 October 2025- The Moral Regeneration Movement (MRM) in the North West on Monday wished the matric class of 2025 well in their exams. In appealing for support as well as no disruption during the examination period, MRM wished all learners who are starting with their examinations this week the very best and urged them to stay focused and not to be distracted from the task at hand.
Convenor of the MRM Provincial Committee, Pastor Lesiba Kgwele urged communities to allow learners the opportunity to write their final exams in a peaceful and conducive environment.
Kgwele said they are appealing for suspension of disruptive protests or alternatively their planning must consider that disruption of schooling and the public transport system will adversely affect learners who are on the verge of achieving a qualification that will open opportunities for them.
“The sacrifices and extra effort that matriculants have had to put as part of preparing for the exams throughout the year must be safeguarded, so that they achieve their objective to pursue their dreams. The investment that the country has made in the education of young people as future leaders is key to sustainable development.
“We therefore appeal to public and scholar transport operators for hassle free transportation of learners to their various examination centres. Punctuality and discipline must characterise the exam period because disruptions will be costly,” he said.
Kgwele further commended the Department of Education’s last push programme aimed at preparing learners for the final exams and dissuaded learners from cheating. He added that such unethical and immoral conduct will result in dire consequences for those who are caught and defer their dreams.
“The matric exam pledges for ethical behaviour and honesty must be upheld by all candidates. We also commend churches and Ministers Fraternal that used Sunday as well as Special Prayer services to pray for the matric class of 2025 mentioning that faith-based organisations are part of support structures for learners particularly those from child headed households need,” said Kgwele.
