The IFP National Chairperson of the Youth Brigade, Mntomuhle Khawula, today wished all matric students well in their examinations. He said that they now had the opportunity to show that they had used their time constructively.

Mntomuhle said:

"The IFP is aware that many learners and their families had to make difficult sacrifices to get where they are today. I am aware also that sitting for the matric examination costs a lot of money which many students can ill afford. In spite of these sacrifices, however, I hope that each learner is able to achieve the goals they have set for themselves."

He added:

"I also want to thank all the educators who have so tirelessly dedicated themselves to ensure that learners can succeed in this their greatest and final challenge of their high school years. Many educators had to carry out their duties under appalling conditions but the majority of them did not allow themselves to be distracted from their cause."

"Good luck to all learners. God bless you all and encourage you during this time."
