I agree with you Warry. The principal is not FIT to be a leader and yes mistakes do happen but not in this way.
Now he put the education dept in disrepute

Bloody Agent

The Principal is negligent, the future of those students are in his hands. I don't buy it when other bloggers says it was a mistake. A reasonable person should have ensure all the boxes were in the car.

Agree it may be a mistake, but in employment it is called Negligence and in this instance I would go as far as saying Gross Negligence. You know the sensitivity surrounding matric question papers you forget them on the roof...??? Unbelievable.

The only thing that was supposed to be in this principal's brains should be Question papers only.
But because baya spanneng drunk, this was expected.

SO much for the promises of no hitches and "much better security around leaks" that Barbara Wotsit was talking about.

It is an unfortunate to the principal, mistake does happened. It's about days into writing of exams, now shi.t had already happened in Soweto, what about those cases that happened already and never been reported? Question paper missing, within 10 minutes, that paper will photocopied, emailed to the entire country. Re-writing of the paper will do justice. Remember such paper has a memorandum, meaning has the answers as well.

How can the principal forget papers on the roof!!?
Either he is too stupid for the job or he did it on purpose, he should be fired yesterday already.
All over the world they are already laughing.
