QUESTION 1:

HOW DID SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO P.W. BOTHA’S REFORMS IN THE 1980s?

SOURCE 1A

 

This extract focuses on the reforms implemented by the apartheid regime to transform apartheid.

The new Botha administration thus began to transform apartheid. It granted rights to African trade unions and allowed important privileges for the urban workforce, but it was the government’s attempt to create a black middle class that impacted most on Soweto. The government hoped that this class of black people would have too much to lose to help the struggle for liberation.

Central to the government’s reform initiative was the reintroduction of 99-year leaseholds. Sowetans were once again allowed to buy rather than rent, newly built houses as well as the older matchbox houses. They could also renovate their homes. The government embarked (started) on an advertising campaign using the slogan, ‘Buy now, improve and feel secure’. Although few houses were sold initially, after new loans were made available to buyers, many houses were SOLD

This extract focuses on the role played by the UDF to resist apartheid.

A vacuum was created in the townships and ordinary black men and women realised that all South Africans who opposed apartheid now had to unite in a nationalist struggle to force the government to negotiations. It was in this space that important new political figures such as the Reverend Allan Boesak, Albertina Sisulu and Patrick ‘Terror’ Lekota, including many others, came together to launch a new broad anti-apartheid organisation.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) was formed on 20 August 1983. The goal of the UDF was to bring together various groups in South Africa who were fighting for the same goal: freedom from the apartheid regime. After the Soweto Uprising more youth, students and workers became involved in the anti-apartheid struggle. Their new tactics of resistance were more aggressive and militant. The UDF wanted to take these changes to the political level and called for change through mass mobilisation and resistance. The UDF operated under the slogan, “People’s Power”, stating that in order to change the political system it must start at the local level. The UDF soon realised that it was very difficult for the state to suppress the multiple local level resistance campaigns, especially their ungovernable tactics of consumer and rent boycotts and protest.

In January 1986 the UDF met with the African National Congress to determine in more detail the UDF and its role against the apartheid regime.

The source below explains the role played by civil society against apartheid.

The clashes of 1984–1986 ushered in a new phase in popular resistance in South Africa. In many townships across the country, civilian government collapsed, and was replaced by alternative unofficial organisations that insisted on ‘people power.’ In many cases, youth organisations took the initiative, although they received support from a broader sector of the community than was previously the case. There was more effective liaison between students and workers. Street committees organised coordinated actions such as rent boycotts and consumer boycotts of white businesses to persuade the owners to support the demands for desegregation and reduction of oppression by the state.

The events of the mid-1980s were certainly marked by the emergence of a young male assertiveness in the political arena previously expressed through gangs.

QUESTION 2:

HOW SUCCESSFUL WAS THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (TRC) IN DEALING WITH THE DEATH OF ACTIVIST LENNY NAIDU?

SOURCE 2A

 

The following source is a short explanation of Lenny Naidu and his activities with the ANC in THE POST, dated 24 June 2018 by Arushan Naidoo.

Durban – Surendra ‘Lenny’ Naidu was a fighter of the underground struggle as a member of the ANC’s armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), a student activist and a hero to many. Naidu dedicated his life to advancing the idea of non-racialism and unity, fighting tirelessly for South African freedom and striving to improve the quality of life of all people.

As a member of the Natal Indian Congress (NIC), he participated in all their campaigns and strived to forward the NIC’s goal for equal rights for all. In November 1986, Naidu became a member of the ANC and contributed to the underground struggle by joining Umkhonto we Sizwe.

He was subjected to constant harassment from the police, which forced him into exile. He departed for Lusaka, where he would receive further instructions, before reporting to Angola for military training. In May 1988, Naidu left Angola to head home. He made his way to Zambia before catching a flight from Mozambique that would see him land in Swaziland.

Naidu continued to reside in Swaziland as he awaited orders on how he would go about infiltrating (enter) South Africa. On June 8 1988, Naidu and MK comrades Makhosi Nyoka, Lindiwe Mthembu and Nontskilelo June Rose Cotoza were gunned down near Piet Retief in an ambush co-ordinated by former police colonel, torturer and assassin under the command of the apartheid government, Eugene de Kock. Four days later, police forces were told to return to the vicinity (area) by a collaborator (police spy). There they took the lives of five young MK members.

SOURCE 2B

The following source is a written copy of evidence that Leslie Naidu gave before the TRC regarding the murder of his brother and student activist Lenny Naidu in 1996.

COMMISSIONER: Mr Naidu, both Mr Naidu’s, you heard the comments that I made earlier to the witness before you, Gloria Nyoka, and I repeat those for your benefit as well. We can only imagine what you and your family must have gone through to have to identify your brother, and your son, in the condition in which you found him. He was a young person who, as you have said, devoted much of his younger life to doing voluntary work for others. He became politicised. He left the country. If you just consider that if he had been arrested and charged according to the law in those days, charged for being a member of the ANC, charged for leaving the country unlawfully, or without a passport, there’s no doubt that he would have been alive and free today. But that's not how it happened in those days, and the overwhelming probabilities are – taking into account that both these groups died on different days in exactly the same circumstances, the overwhelming probabilities are that they were simply murdered, and placed – as I recall from those times – on top of each other in a prison cell, where you had to identify them.

We know that Mr de Kock and Mr Nafumela have applied for amnesty, and we will be having a very close look at those applications for amnesty to see whether they make full disclosure, as they are obliged to do, and to see what their version is of these events. It is also possible that when de Kock gives his address in mitigation (less serious) of sentence – as you know he's just been sentenced on 89 charges, including six of murder – when he gives his address in mitigation of sentence it is expected that he will refer to other incidents, and that also may be some lead in to find out what happened in June 1988 to your brother, to your son.

So we thank you for having had the courage to have come forward today.

SOURCE 2C

The following newspaper article entitled ‘TRC to hear about Piet Retief killings’ was written by Sue Blaine. It appeared on the Independent online website on 26 July 1999.

Former Vlakplaas commander Eugene de Kock makes another amnesty application to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Monday, telling of the security police ambushes of eight Durban-based anti-apartheid activists.

De Kock and 21 other policemen are set to tell the TRC hearing at the Durban Christian Centre, Mayville, how two sets of Umkhonto we Sizwe cadres were ambushed (sudden attack) at Piet Retief, on the Mpumalanga border, and killed by Vlakplaas operatives in 1985. In the first ambush, Durban ANC activist Lenny Naidu and three women were killed when the security police, waiting in ambush, opened fire on a vehicle in which the four had been transported across the Swaziland border into South Africa ...

Apparently the Piet Retief police had infiltrated the MK network, gaining information regarding the movements of cadres across the Swaziland border and asked De Kock to assist in an operation. On 8 June 1985, a Vlakplaas driver cited by the TRC only as LT Moshe, picked up the four cadres, Lenny Naidu, Charity Nyembezi, Makhosi Nyoka and Nonsikelelo Cothoza, and drove them to a pre-arranged spot. The driver then ran from the vehicle and the security police opened fire, killing all four.

The second ambush, which took place a few days later on 12 June 1985, employed the same modus operandi (method) ... a group of MK operatives led by Charles Ndaba, including Boxer Mthembu, Jabulani Sibisi, Sifiso Nxumalo and Innocent Thenjwayo, were fetched by a Vlakplaas driver and were taken to a certain spot and ambushed ...

Fifteen applicants, including De Kock and former security policemen Paul van Dyk, Johan Tait, Marthinus Ras and Cornelius Botha are involved in this application.

QUESTION 1:
HOW AND WHY DID BERLIN BECOME A FOCAL POINT OF THE COLD WAR AFTER 1945?
SOURCE 1A

The following extract focuses on how the Cold War unfolded in Europe after 1945.

Without Germany’s defeat in 1945 and the subsequent power vacuum in central Europe, in which the former members of the Grand Coalition confronted each other eyeball to eyeball, the Cold War would not have occurred in the acute form that it did. At the Yalta Conference it had been agreed that Germany should be divided into four zones, each administered by one of the victorious powers. Sovereignty passed collectively to the Four Powers, who, it was envisaged, would govern Germany through the Control Commission based in Berlin, which was itself divided into four sectors. Disagreements intensified, however, and a united Germany became a prize, which neither the USSR nor the Western Allies could concede to the other.

In any East-West conflict, Germany’s industrial and manpower resources would be decided. In the Ruhr, the Western Powers already possessed the industrial powerhouse of Europe and could therefore afford to risk the partition of Germany by pressing ahead in 1948 with the creation of a semi-independent Western Germany. Without war, the USSR could not stop this, but, with the Western military presence in Berlin, they did have a hostage. By bringing pressure to bear on this outpost they could, so they hoped, wring concessions from London, Washington and Paris.

SOURCE 1B
This article focuses on the imposition of the Berlin blockade by the Soviet Union.

The first heightening of Cold War tensions occurred in 1948 when the Soviets imposed a partial blockade of Berlin in April, and then a full blockade in June. Understanding the events that led to the imposition of the blockades is the key to understanding the later division of Berlin in 1961 by the Berlin Wall, and the division of the German state that had occurred earlier in 1949 when separate west German (federal Republic of Germany) and east German (German Democratic Republic) states were established. There are three key events that led to Soviet blockades of Berlin: the institution of the Marshal Plan for European recovery, the London Conference in the winter and spring of 1948 and the resultant London Program, which called for a separate West Germany and currency reform as a means to reach this end. But the Western powers would not give in. To demonstrate their resolve, the Americans orchestrated a monumental airlift, which flew necessities such as coal and food into the Western sectors of Berlin. This airlift lasted for 324 days, and approximately 13 000 tons of supplies a day were delivered.

In the spring of 1949, it was increasingly clear that the objectives Stalin had in mind when ordering a blockade were not going to be met. The US was continuing its counter blockade measures, the separate western government in Germany was about to be established, and the North Atlantic Treaty was being signed in Washington. Stalin had the choice of either continuing with the disastrous blockade or admitting defeat and lifting the blockade. Stalin chose the latter, and in May 1949, at the final meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers, the blockade was ended.

This extract focuses on the Berlin Airlift.

In time, the aircraft became ever more efficient and the number of aircrafts increased. At the height of the campaign, one plane landed every 45 seconds at Tempelhof Airport. By spring 1949, the Berlin Airlift proved successful. The Western Allies showed that they could sustain the operation indefinitely. At the same time, the allied counter-blockade on eastern Germany was causing severe shortages, which, Moscow feared, might lead to political upheaval.

On May 11, 1949, Moscow lifted the blockade of West Berlin. The Berlin Crisis of 1948– 1949 solidified the division of Europe. Shortly before the end of the blockade, the Western Allies created the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Two weeks after the end of the blockade, the state of West Germany was established, soon followed by the creation of East Germany. The incident solidified the demarcation between East and West in Europe; it was one of the few places on earth where US and Soviet armed forces stood face-to-face. It also transformed Berlin, once equated with Prussian militarism and Nazism, into a symbol of democracy and freedom in the fight against Communism.

QUESTION 2: WHY DID FOREIGN POWERS BECOME INVOLVED IN THE ANGOLAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE?
SOURCE 2A

This source explains the power struggles that erupted after Angola became independent in 1974.

Three main military movements had been fighting for Angolan independence since the 1960s. The Popular movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) was a Marxist organisation centred in the capital, Luanda, and led by Agostinho Neto. The National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA) led by Holden Roberto, was based in the north of the country and had strong ties to the US ally (friend), Mobutu Sese Seko, in neighbouring Zaire. The National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), an offshoot of the FNLA, was led by Jonas Savimbi and supported by the country’s largest ethnic group, the Ovimbundu.
Following the Portuguese coup (revolution), these three revolutionaries met with representatives of the new Portuguese government in January 1975 and signed the Alvor Agreement that granted Angolan independence and provided for a three-way power sharing government. However, trust quickly broke down among the three groups, and the country descended (fell) into civil war as each vied (competed) for sole (total) power.
The crisis in Angola developed into a Cold War battleground as the superpowers and their allies delivered military assistance to their preferred clients. The United States supplied aid and training for both the FNLA and UNITA while troops from Zaire assisted Holden Roberto and his fighters. China also sent military instructors to train the FNLA. During the summer of 1975, the Soviet-supported MPLA was able to consolidate power in Luanda and oust the U.S.-supported FNLA from the capital, but the FNLA continued to attack.

SOURCE 2B
The source below outlines the reasons for South Africa’s involvement in Angola during the 1970s.

SA’s first intervention of Angola seems to have resulted from the need to secure and protect its own interests. The government was severely anti-communist at this time, as the notion of the ‘total national strategy’ against the ‘total onslaught’ of communism became the all-encompassing factor that determined foreign policy. SA’s détente politics toward Africa at this time was pursued rather successfully prior to the Angolan intervention in order to establish buffer zones, which would hopefully protect SA from the increasing communist threat. In addition, SA was becoming increasingly worried about this possible threat as the USSR and Cuba were enlarging their support to the MPLA after the coup in Portugal in 1974. The concentration of SWAPO insurgents on the southern Angola border furthermore endangered SA’s interests in SWA, as SWAPO was one of the MPLA’s biggest African allies. Both the MPLA and SWAPO were seen as Soviet proxies during the Cold War.

In addition, SA was pressured by some in the international community to get involved in Angola for the first time. The USA, like SA, was also strongly anti-communist and supported SA’s initial involvement to some extent. France also had concerns. SA also saw its limited initial involvement as an opportunity to establish a less hostile government in Angola, than what was already established in Mozambique. The FNLA, UNITA and several African and international actors such as Zaire and even Zambia made similar requests. South Africa decided that it would be in its own as well as the region’s best interest to intervene in the Angolan conflict.

SOURCE 2C
The extract below indicates how the United States of America supported UNITA during the Angolan Civil War.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) made its first major weapons shipment to the FNLA in July 1975. Thus, like the Russians and Chinese, the United States was giving aid to one side of Angolan Civil War on a level far greater than it had ever provided during the struggle against Portuguese colonialism.

The United States was directly involved in the civil war to a marked (noticeable) degree. In addition to training Angolan combat units, US personnel did considerable flying between Zaire and Congo carrying out reconnaissance (investigation) and supply missions, and the CIA spent over a million dollars on an ambitious mercenary (hired soldiers) programme. Several reports appeared in the US press stating that many American guerrillas were fighting in Angola against the MPLA from ‘scores’ to ‘300’ and that many others were recruited and trained in the United States to join them. But John Stockwell, the head of CIA’s Angola task force, puts the number of American mercenaries who actually made it to Angola at only 24. The CIA was also directly financing the arming of British mercenaries (fighting in Angola).

Subsequently (later) the Secretary of the State, Henry Kissinger, informed the Senate that ‘the CIA is not involved’ in the recruitment of mercenaries for Angola. … Through recruited journalists representing major news service, the Agency (CIA) was able to generate international coverage of false reports for Soviet advisers in Angola. One CIA story, announced to the press by UNITA, was that 20 Russians and 35 Cubans had been captured. Another fabrication (lie) concerned alleged rapes committed by Cuban soldiers in Angola; this was elaborated to include their capture, trial and execution …

QUESTION 3: HOW DID THE PROCESS OF SCHOOL INTEGRATION UNFOLD AT CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS?
SOURCE 3A

This extract focuses on Daisy Bates’ struggle to bring an end to school segregation in Little Rock.

Faubus’ alleged reason for calling out the troops was that he had received information that caravans of automobiles filled with white supremacists were heading toward Little Rock from all over the state. He therefore declared Central High School off limits to Negroes. He delivered the infamous words, ‘blood will run in the streets’ if Negro pupils should attempt to enter Central High School and with these words he made his contribution to the mass hysteria that was to grip the city of Little Rock for several months.

The citizens of Little Rock gathered on 3 September to gaze upon the incredible spectacle of an empty school building surrounded by 250 armed National Guard troops. At about eight fifteen in the morning, Central High students started passing through the line of National Guardsmen – all but the nine Negro students.

I had been in touch with their parents throughout the day. They were confused, and they were frightened. As the parents voiced their fears, they kept repeating Governor Faubus’ words that ‘blood would run in the streets of Little Rock’ should their teenage children try to attend Central – the school to which they had been assigned by the School Board.

SOURCE 3B
The following is an interview with Elizabeth Eckford, one of the nine African American students who was enrolled at Central High School in 1957.

The night before the Governor had gone on television and announced that he had called out the Arkansas National Guard, I thought he had done this to ensure the protection of all students. We did not have a telephone. So inevitably I was not contacted to let me know that Daisy Bates of the NAACP had arranged for some ministers to accompany the (nine black) students in a group. And so it was that I arrived alone …

At the corner I tried to pass through the long line of guards around the school so as to enter the grounds behind them. One of the guards pointed across the street. So, I pointed in the same direction and asked whether he meant for me to cross the street and walk down. He nodded ‘yes’. So, I walked across the street, conscious of the crowd that stood there, but they moved away from me.

For a moment all I could hear was the shuffling of the feet. Then someone shouted, ‘Here she comes, get ready!’ I moved away from the crowd on the sidewalk and into the street. If the mob came at me, I could then cross back over so the guards could protect me. The crowd moved in closer and then began to follow me, calling me names. I still wasn’t afraid, just a little bit nervous. All the time I kept thinking that the guards would protect me.

When I got in front of the school, I went up to a guard again. But this time he just looked straight ahead and didn’t move to let me pass him. When I tried to squeeze past him, he raised his bayonet and then the guards moved in and they raised their bayonets. I turned around and the crowd came toward me. Somebody started yelling, ‘Lynch her! Lynch her!’ I tried to see a friendly face somewhere in the mob-scene who maybe would help. I looked into the face of an old woman and it seemed a kind face, but when I looked at her again, she spat on me.

The following extract focuses on the reaction of fellow students to school integration

Three young girls, barely into their teens, fell in directly behind Elizabeth. They were clearly together, and clearly students, two of them, like Elizabeth, carried books. They wanted to get close to Elizabeth, close enough to let her know that they didn’t want her in their school. It was easy, everyone, the television reporters, the grown-ups in the vacant lot across the street, the other kids were either egging (encouraging) them on, or, like the soldiers and policemen, paying them no mind. No one was telling them not to do anything. ‘Two, four, six, eight! We don’t want to integrate!’ they chanted.

The girl to Elizabeth’s right, Hazel Bryan, looked livid (furious), her face poisoned with hate. As Benjamin Fine of the New York Times later described her, ‘she was screaming, just hysterical, just like one of these Elvis Presley hysterical deals, where these kids are fainting with hysteria’. Her eyes narrowed, her brow furrowed, her teeth clenched (tightened) as if about to bite. Hazel then shouted some more: ‘Go home, nigger! Go back to Africa!’ A photographer captured Hazel Bryan shouting these words at Elizabeth Eckford and published the photograph on the front page of a local publication called the Gazette.

PRINCIPLES RELATED TO MARKING LIFE SCIENCES

  1. If more information than marks allocated is given.
    Stop marking when maximum mark is reached and put a wavy line and ‘max’ in the right-hand margin.
  2. If, for example, three reasons are required and five are given.
    Mark the first three irrespective of whether all or some are correct/ incorrect.
  3. If whole process is given when only a part of it is required. Read all and credit the relevant part.
  4. If comparisons are asked for, and descriptions are given. Accept if the differences/similarities are clear.
  5. If tabulation is required but paragraphs are given. Candidates will lose marks for not tabulating.
  6. If diagrams are given with annotations when descriptions are required. Candidates will lose marks.
  7. If flow charts are given instead of descriptions. Candidates will lose marks.
  8. If sequence is muddled and links do not make sense.
    Where sequence and links are correct, credit. Where sequence and links are incorrect, do not credit. If sequence and links become correct again, resume credit.
  9. Non-recognised abbreviations.
    Accept if first defined in answer. If not defined, do not credit the unrecognised abbreviation, but credit the rest of the answer if correct.
  10. Wrong numbering.
    If answer fits into the correct sequence of questions, but the wrong number is given, it is acceptable.
  11. If language used changes the intended meaning. Do not accept.
  12. Spelling errors.
    If recognisable, accept the answer, provided it does not mean something else in Life Sciences or if it is out of context.
  13. If common names are given in terminology.
    Accept, provided it was accepted at the national memo discussion meeting.
  14. If only the letter is asked for, but only the name is given (and vice versa).
    Do not credit.
  15. If units are not given in measurements.
    Candidates will lose marks. Marking guideline will allocate marks for units separately.
  16. Be sensitive to the sense of an answer, which may be stated in a different way.
  17. Caption
    All illustrations (diagrams, graphs, tables, etc.) must have a caption.
  18. Code-switching of official languages (terms and concepts)
    A single word or two that appear(s) in any official language other than the learners' assessment language used to the greatest extent in his/her answers should be credited, if it is correct. A marker that is proficient in the relevant official language should be consulted. This is applicable to all official languages.

3.2 Read the extract below.

The European corn borer moth, Ostrinia nubilalis, is a pest. Its larvae develop inside maize stems and eat the contents, weakening the stems so that the plants collapse.

The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (‘Bt’), produces a protein that poisons the larvae of moths and butterflies. This can be isolated from cultures of Bt and packaged in fluids to be sprayed on surface of plants.

The gene coding for the toxic protein has also been isolated and incorporated into a genetically modified strain of maize called Bt corn. This makes the plant tissues to be poisonous to the corn borer moth.

3.2.1 Describe ONE disadvantage of European corn borer moth in plants. (2)
3.2.2 A farmer wants to increase the yield of maize.
Explain why you would not recommend spraying the unmodified corn with Bt toxin. (3)
3.2.3 Some scientists investigated the different ways of protecting maize against the corn borer moth.
The method they followed is described below:

  • Several hundreds of maize seedlings were planted in three separate but close together plots, in the same field
  • The seedlings in the three plots were treated as follows:
    • Plot A was untreated
    • Plot B was sprayed daily with Bt toxin
    • Plot C the seedlings planted were genetically modified Bt corn
  • On the first day of each week, one scientist would walk around the edge of a plot and count the number of maize plants that had collapsed
  • Each plot had a scientist responsible for counting

The results are shown in the table below.
