Judge Nathan Davis must have been in a foul mood when he set aside basic education minister Angie Motshekga’s decision for a rewrite of matric papers maths 2 and physical science 2. The decision was described as “irregular and unlawful”, with Davis dismissing the minister’s after-the-fact clarification that she did not, in law, have the authority to make the rewrite decision as “nonsensical ... an afterthought, devoid of a factual basis ... [a] shambles”. Haibo!..
