Exam cheats hurt the genuinely clever

Just how much more of the steep decline towards failed statehood must we endure before we choose not tore-elect the Jacob Zuma-led ANC?

Not only have we lost jobs, had our currency depreciate dramatically, lost uncounted billions to corruption and endured power shortages and cuts from Eskom - now school education has joined the ranks of potential failed state-run enterprises.

Zuma has never liked the "clever" people who criticise his blunders, but if school education becomes another "good story to tell", how will we ever fix our growing problems?

If mass cheating is not extended to tertiary education then those graduate numbers will decrease, surely?

How would genuine top-level students who did not cheat feel if their applications to universities were declined because all places were filled by students who received the help of mass cheating?

How was mass cheating meant to be kept a secret?
