My son wrote the NSC exams via SACAI. Together they worked with Umalusi who brought down our kids SBA marks so low that kids who usually score between 60 to 70 % were marked as low as 24%. When asked for a breakdown of the scripts via phone I was told it's confidential. When emailing for a breakdown they ignore your requests. Both SACAI and Umalusi needs to be audited.

I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding my Grade 12 results. I completed my final exams through UCT Online High School, consistently achieving straight A’s with an average over 80%. However, my report shows a mark of 42% for one subject, which is inconsistent with my performance. When I called SACAI, I was informed I had passed two out of three papers. I have also tried contacting UCT Online, but my email and portal access have been disabled, leaving me unable to verify or resolve this issue. Given my record and the circumstances, I believe this mark is in error and request a review and explanation as soon as possible.

Sacai is a ****. And any Online institution that uses them as an examination body are complicit in ****ming people. People need to stay away from such institution, e.g. UCT Online high school. The arrogance is of world class. Queries are not attended. Emails ignored. I even wonder if these people are academics. It is a money-making ****, full stop.

SACAI is an absolute disgrace of an education body and a borderline **** disguised as “alternative education.” Their fees are ********ly high for what is essentially admin work and outsourced assessment, and they have the audacity to market themselves as a lifeline for struggling students while actively bleeding families dry. You pay obscene amounts of money, only to be met with delays, vague communication, and zero accountability when things go wrong. The system is bloated, inefficient, and mentally exhausting. Results take forever or have significant drop offs, requirements change or are explained poorly, and if you fall behind even slightly, you’re treated like the problem—never the broken system they’ve built. There is no flexibility, no empathy, and no real support despite the glossy marketing about “student-centered learning.” It’s all bull****. What makes it worse is the false sense of security SACAI sells. You spend years grinding through their nonsense, only to realize that many institutions don’t even take SACAI seriously without extra hoops, rewrites, or conversions. So congratulations—you’ve wasted time, money, and your mental health, and now you still have to beg other bodies to recognize the work you already paid for. SACAI doesn’t care that students lose years of their lives. They don’t care about burnout, anxiety, or financial strain. As long as the invoices are paid, they’re happy. If you’re considering SACAI, don’t walk—run. You’re better off rewriting through the DBE, IEB, or literally any system that doesn’t feel like a slow, expensive trap. This isn’t education. It’s exploitation wrapped in fancy wording.

I wrote exams morethan once. The last one I wrote was May/June 2024. I app**** for a combination certificate to put my new results in the certificate. Even today, it's still not out. The sad part is, there is no communication, no response to emails. When I call, the consultant will make me hear what I want to hear, which is "I will check what's going on." Unfortunately after that call they don't call back unless I call again to ask.

This is south Africa's biggest education ****. SACAI is an institution that will make you poor . Firstly their fees are very high for and institution that according to them has a 77% pass rate. For the fees paid by students or their family that 77 % Should be 100%. Students their study do their assignments and do their extra credits as expected. Some of these schools especially the one in Eldorado Park called Zaroa , the teachers there are all old and most I personally think have past their teaching dates. They are never there when you need then the principal is always late there are not enough space for students. Back to SACAI now it looks as if the deliberately fail students or have people that are very poor at marking the exam papers or are not equipped to do so. In short for SACAI student its the role of the dice whether they pass or fail. To me it's like they fail students deliberately in order for them to generate more money. For a re write at GED it's just under R300 or R400 but at SACAI it Costa staggering R2500 per subject. Do the math and see the logic..... Greed has taken over and parents are being ****** of their hard earned money in order to educate their kids.
