The Mpumalanga MEC for Education, Cathy Dlamini, strongly condemns the "Pendown Parties" (or "Pens Down Parties") of 2025.

The MEC emphasizes the importance of responsible celebrations that uphold discipline, respect, and community safety. The department calls on schools, parents, and communities to work together to discourage dangerous behavior and instead promote celebrations that reflect pride and integrity as learners finish their final exams and prepare for their next life chapter.
