" rural schools were still waiting for the delivery of test papers " - Don't hold your breath. They'll be there in two years time, after the school year. As Papage asks: Have those areas even got books yet. It's not going to be rocket science to figure that this year has been a complete waste for thousands of children. Nice work Masemola and Ma-Angie.
