The Emfuleni Local Municipality on Tuesday congratulated the Class of 2025 in a recent poster highlighting Sedibeng’s matric results: 89.4% in Sedibeng East and 86.0% in Sedibeng West.

However, sharp-eyed residents noticed a spelling mistake at the top, with “Congratulations” written as “Congradulations.”

The post sparked reactions online, with some commenters joking about the error and others questioning the attention to detail of local officials.

Despite the typo, the message celebrates the hard work and perseverance of the matrics, who achieved impressive results across the region.
