I watched the Minister of Basic Education, Ms @Siviwe_G deliver the NSC Matric Results.

Let me begin where credit is due. Congratulations to the provinces and districts for the exceptional work invested in this cohort. The improvements across provinces are measurable, encouraging, and importantly, they signal institutional momentum rather than episodic success.

Now, to the Minister.

It was genuinely refreshing to witness a speech that was well written, tightly structured, and delivered with intellectual command and civic conviction. Yes, she was supported by a teleprompter, as any serious public communicator should but this in no way diluted her evident grasp of the department, the policy mechanics, or the educational ecosystem she oversees.

What stood out was her ability to translate bureaucratic complexity into public understanding without condescension or theatrics. She was composed, engaging and pedagogically intentional in how she unpacked the sector’s progress, constraints, and responsibilities. Oh and she sounded fantastic.

Equally notable was her political maturity within the context of a Government of National Unity. At no point did she weaponise these achievements for partisan elevation. The successes were consistently framed as collective, attributable to the sector, its professionals, its institutions and the broader education ecosystem. That restraint signals statesmanship rather than party reflex, and it matters in a fragile democratic moment where institutional trust must be rebuilt, not harvested.

And to the Class of 2025. May your results open doors, yes but more importantly, may your education give you judgment, range and the courage to think for yourselves. South Africa does not merely need achievers; it needs citizens who can reason, question and build.

Congratulations to all at @DBE_SA

@TelkomZA with their rude phone consultant just put me on hold because they don’t want to hear my case since I’m cancelling my contract. I have all the patience to fight this. I’ve often heard people say cancelling a contract with @TelkomZA is the pits. What an uphill battle😩

@TelkomZA Billing query after contract expiry date.

[Mihlali Sizani-Peter @mee828]

I have been with @TelkomZA for over 10 years and they’re so unresponsive when trying to reach them. I’m so tired of this network.

@FlySafair The pits. Can you at least communicate with your passengers and not only respond to tweets because everyone here is in the dark.

[Mihlali Sizani-Peter @mee828]

@FlySafair our EL - CPT flight is already delayed by 2 hours. Can we please get updated information on what’s happening and when we’re likely to depart. The lack of communication is frustrating.

[Mihlali Sizani-Peter @mee828]
