I’m a lady aged 33 i m originally from Swaziland.Im making enquiries abaut matric..I want to find out if I can study matric part time.Im i eligible to register for matric using only a passport  with no study permit  no school report since I left school like 16 yrs ago….

In the case of foreign candidates who do not have the relevant documentation, but have attended the South African schooling system, the department will allow these candidates to register to write the examination. But these candidates will not have their results issued until they produce the necessary documentation.

Children of parents from outside SA should apply for the correct documents as these will assist them to gain access to public services and to regularise their stay in the republic.”

The department of basic education did not respond to queries.
