Durban - The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Education MEC Mbali Frazer has warned communities not to disrupt exam processes.

Frazer was reacting to the near disruption of exams by the school community of JE Ndlovu High School in KwaMashu, north of Durban, where Frazer had to intervene so matric exams were not disrupted.

Frazer warned communities not to disrupt exam processes whenever they have service delivery issues or issues regarding school governance.

“We urge our communities to respect our schools, especially during this critical time of examinations. Disrupting exams because the community has a grievance is very regressive and it is something that must be frowned upon by all responsible members of our communities,” Frazer said.

This week, matric pupils started writing their exams with the first paper being English Paper I on Monday.
