iSixazululi is designed as a supplementary educational tool for students studying under the South African CAPS (Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement) curriculum.

Important: The App is intended to supplement, not replace, classroom instruction. It should be used alongside textbooks, teachers, and other learning resources. Reliance on the App as your sole study resource is discouraged.

• Solutions provided are AI-generated estimates and may contain errors or inaccuracies.
• All solutions should be verified with a qualified teacher or tutor before being relied upon for examinations or assessments.
• The accuracy of problem extraction depends on image quality and clarity.
