The moment was captured in a video shared by Gagasi FM on TikTok, showing excited pupils paging through newspapers and checking exam numbers as the results went live. The gathering formed part of the Gagasi FM Matric Results Vigil, a tradition that brings learners together in a shared space to experience the emotional wait, the relief, and the joy of finally seeing the outcome of a year filled with pressure and hard work.

Basic Education Minister Siviwe Gwarube hailed the Class of 2025 for achieving South Africa’s highest-ever National Senior Certificate pass rate of 88%, with a record 345,000 bachelor’s passes despite challenges in gateway subjects. KwaZulu-Natal leads the country with a 90.60% pass rate, followed by Free State, Gauteng, North West and the Western Cape.
