A video taken just over a week ago has gone viral – showing an allegedly drunk Eastern Cape matriculant wielding an axe during a confrontation with teachers at the Ezizweni Senior Secondary School who had turned him away for arriving an hour late for his exam.

The pupil ended up missing the two-hour English First Additional Language Paper 3 exam and will now get an incomplete exam result when his marks are released next year.
