Zimbabwe group offers refuge to pupils blocked from matric exams

The Zimbabwe Exemption Permit Co-ordinating Committee (ZEPCC) in SA says it has engaged with 120 matric pupils who have failed to register for their examinations because of alleged xenophobia and bullying at schools.

The organisation says it has made arrangements with the department of education to register the affected pupils.

The pupils will be accommodated at a boarding facility where they will prepare for and write their 2026 matric examinations.
