With the mid-year exams just around the corner, SADESMO would like to wish all students and learners well for their forthcoming exams.

 SADESMO National Spokesperson, Mkhuleko Hlengwa, said "On behalf of SADESMO and the IFP, I wish all students and learners all the best for their mid-year exams, we certainly hope that everything in terms of logistics will be in place to enable the exams to go ahead as planned." 

Noting that the learning process is multidimensional and involves many people, Hlengwa said: "We urge all teachers, lecturers, learners and students to commit themselves to incident-free exams; and most importantly we urge teachers and lecturers to readily avail themselves to offer additional help and assistance where and when the need arises." 

Furthermore Hlengwa added "we are extremely concerned with the strike action by Metrorail workers - to which we are sympathetic, although they could not have chosen a worse time. This strike action is placing students and learners under unnecessary pressure, thus placing the future of the country at stake. We urge all relevant stakeholders to reach a speedy resolution to this unfortunate impasse, which is threatening our education, as students and learners are unable to attend their classes." 

In conclusion Hlengwa said: "During this period we encourage students and learners to prioritise their learning. All subjects must be taken very seriously, even if it's Woodwork. We wish everyone well for their exams, study hard and do not settle for 'G' symbols like others who were satisfied with mediocrity; and whom by virtue of neglecting his books has grown up to be nothing more than an arrogant stooge of ignorance."
