The District was ready and prepared for the upcoming examination with all systems go and all structures on board. The District was in control of the marking centres. All principals attended workshops on the examinations arranged by the Department. For inaccessible areas, the Department worked closely with the South African Police Services to render the necessary support vehicles to distribute material. The district unfortunately had a problem with not having sufficient storage space. A major issue remained the weather. When it rained there were areas that became inaccessible. All moderation of Schools Based Assessments was completed. Invigilators had already been appointed in writing and had undergone the necessary oath of secrecy.
