Your records are not lost forever.
We help you find your school papers and ID records when the system fails. Whether your school closed or records were destroyed, we are your shield.
Why Your Records Are Not There.
It is not your fault. It is a systemic failure. Between 1995 and 2026, many South African schools moved from paper to digital files. During this time, historical records were often abandoned or eroded.
Defining Custodial Erosion
"This is when the person responsible for your papers (the 'Custodian') fails to protect them from fire, rain, or closing down."

Documented Institutional Failures.
If you attended these schools, your records were likely destroyed by these events.
Roosevelt Primary
Archives in the administrative wing were affected by localized infrastructure failure in Nov 2018. Legacy paper files from 1995–2000 were never fully digitized.
Nigel Primary
Vandalism during the 2021 unrest led to the destruction of offices. Submerged archives during the 2025 flood cycle ruined remaining paper registers.
Damelin (Educor)
The DHET confirmed a total breakdown of record-keeping in Feb 2026. Files were abandoned at campuses as the company faced insolvency.
The Laws of Record Keeping.
Understanding your rights and why your history was erased by policy.
⚖️ The 25-Year Rule
Under GDE policy, "Pupil Record Cards" are legally destroyed 25 years after the student's birth. Many records were shredded before you could even ask.
🛡️ POPIA (Privacy Law)
Since July 2021, schools are mandated to purge data. This led to an "aggressive disposal" of paper archives to avoid legal liability.
