SABC launches annual matric results service

14 Nov 2011

The SABC's news-on-phone service (NewsBreak 082 152) has launched its annual matric results service, via its SMS and voice services. This will allow matriculants and their families to obtain their final exam results as soon as they are released by the Education Department in early January 2012.

All they have to do is to pre-register via SMS and detailed results will be sent back to them on the day of release.

Students can immediately start to register by sending the word DBE (for Department of Basic Education exams) or IEB (for Independent Examination Board exams) followed by their ID number to 35935, at R3 per SMS. They will receive a return SMS asking for an exam number, for them to receive their detailed results.

Call on the day

If students were not able to pre-register, they will also be able to call 082 152 on the day the results are released, select option 6, punch in their ID and exam numbers and the results will be relayed. Calls to 082 152 are charged at Value Added Service rates.

For more information, contact SABC digital news editor Izak Minnaar on +27 (0)82 412 8862 or az.oc.cbas@iraannim.
