1.1 EXTRACT A 
[Stephen Kumalo and Msimangu are looking for Kumalo’s sister.] 

-That is the building of the Bantu Press, our newspaper. Of course, there  are Europeans in it too, and it is moderate and does not say all that could  be said. Your brother John thinks little of the Bantu Press. He and his  friends call it the Bantu Repress. 
 So they walked till they came to Claremont and Kumalo was 5 shocked by its shabbiness and dirtiness, and the closeness of the houses,  and the filth in the streets. 
 -Do you see that woman, my friend? 
 - I see her. 
 - She is one of the queens, the liquor sellers. They say she is one of 10 the richest of our people in Johannesburg. 
 - And these children? Why are they not at school? 
 -Some because they do not care, and some because their parents do  not care, but many because the schools are full.  
 They walked down Lily Street, and turned off into Hyacinth Street, 15 for the names there are very beautiful. 
 -It is here, brother. Number eleven. Do you go in alone? 
 - It would be better. 
 -When you are ready, you will find me next door at number  thirteen. 20 There is a woman of our church there, and a good woman who tries with  her husband to bring up good children. But it is hard. Their eldest  daughter whom I prepared for confirmation has run away.

1.2 EXTRACT B 
[Kumalo visits the chief.] 

Kumalo climbed the hill to the place of the chief and was told to wait.  This was no strange thing, for if he wished a chief could tell a man to wait  simply because he was a chief. If he wished he could tell a man to wait  while he idly picked his teeth, or stared out day-dreaming over a valley.  But Kumalo was glad of the chance to rest. He took off his coat and sat  5 in the shade of a hut, and pondered over the ways of a chief. For who  would be chief over this desolation? It was a thing the white man had  done, knocked these chiefs down, and put them up again, to hold the  pieces together. But the white men had taken most of the pieces away.  And some chiefs sat with arrogant and blood-shot eyes, rulers of pitiful  10 kingdoms that had no meaning at all. They were not all like this; there  were some who had tried to help their people, and who had sent their sons to schools. And the government had tried to help them too. But  they were feeding an old man with milk, and pretending that he would  one day grow into a boy. Kumalo came to himself with a start and  15 realised how far he had travelled since that journey to Johannesburg.

  2. combined.
  3. toppled.
  4. assembled. (1)

1.2.5 Explain the meaning of ‘to hold the … the pieces away’ (lines 8–9). (2)
1.2.6 Why is the following statement TRUE? The chiefs ruled worthless kingdoms. (1)
1.2.7 Refer to lines 13–15 (‘But they were … into a boy’). 

  1. Identify the figure of speech in these lines. (1)
  2. Explain this figure of speech in the context of the novel. (2)

2.1 EXTRACT C 
[The murder scene.] 

It was two o’clock when she came to herself and called for the police. The  murderer was gone long ago; but there lay his victim in the middle of the  lane, incredibly mangled. The stick with which the deed had been done,  although it was of some rare and very tough and heavy wood, had broken in  the middle under the stress of this insensate cruelty; and one splintered half 5 had rolled in the neighbouring gutter – the other, without doubt, had been  carried away by the murderer. A purse and a gold watch were found upon  the victim; but no cards or papers, except a sealed and stamped envelope,  which he had been probably carrying to the post, and which bore the name  and address of Mr Utterson. 10 
 This was brought to the lawyer the next morning before he was out of bed;  and he had no sooner seen it, and been told the circumstances, than he shot  out a solemn lip. ‘I shall say nothing till I have seen the body,’ said he; ‘this  may be very serious. Have the kindness to wait while I dress.’ And with the  same grave countenance he hurried through his breakfast and drove to the  15 police station, whither the body had been carried. As soon as he came into  the cell he nodded.

2.2 EXTRACT D 
[Utterson and Enfield are taking a walk.] 

The middle one of the three windows was half-way open; and sitting  close beside it, taking the air with an infinite sadness of mien, like  some disconsolate prisoner, Utterson saw Dr Jekyll. 
 ‘What! Jekyll!’ he cried. ‘I trust you are better.’ 
‘I am very low, Utterson,’ replied the doctor drearily, ‘very low. 5  It will not last long, thank God.’ 
 ‘You stay too much indoors,’ said the lawyer. ‘You should be out,  whipping up the circulation like Mr Enfield and me. (This is my cousin  – Mr Enfield – Dr Jekyll.) Come now; get your hat and take a quick  turn with us’. 10  ‘You are very good,’ sighed the other. ‘I should like to very much;  but no, no, no, it is quite impossible; I dare not. But indeed, Utterson, I  am very glad to see you; this is really a great pleasure; I would ask you  and Mr Enfield up, but the place is really not fit. 
 Why then,’ said the lawyer good-naturedly, ‘the best thing we can 15 do is to stay down here and speak with you from where we are.’  
 ‘That is just what I was about to venture to propose,’ returned the  doctor, with a smile. 
 ‘But the words were hardly uttered, before the smile was struck out  of his face and succeeded by an expression of such abject terror. 20

Wherein you dressed yourself? Hath it slept since
And wakes it now, to look so green and pale 
At what it did so freely? From this time 
Such I account thy love. Art thou afeard 
To be the same in thine own act and valour 15
As thou art in desire? Wouldst thou have that 
Which thou esteem’s the ornament of life, 
And live a coward in thine own esteem, 
Letting ‘I dare not’ wait upon ‘I would’, 
Like the poor cat i’th’ adage? 20
MACBETH: Prithee, peace. 
I dare do all that may become a man; 
Who dares do more is none? 
LADY MACBETH: What beast was’t then 
That made you break this enterprise to me? 25
When you durst do it, then you were a man; 
And, to be more than what you were, you would
Be so much more the man. Nor time nor place
Did then adhere, yet you would make both. 
They have made themselves, and that their fitness now 30
Does unmake you.

Cut short all intermission; front to front

NOTE: Answer the questions set on BOTH EXTRACTS, i.e. QUESTION 5.1 AND  QUESTION 5.2. 

5.1 ‘TRANSFORMING MOMENTS’ 
EXTRACT I 
[The narrator attends a meeting with Father Fikeni.] 

I had heard of imbongi – a praise poet – but I’d never dreamt that I’d see one in action.  I was staring open-mouthed; even today looking back, I still don’t know exactly how  to describe the feeling I had right then. I only remember that when the man had  finished and people moved forward to congratulate him, I knew I was too tired to even  clap my hands or join in the ululation and whistles. I just sat there and in my dreamy 5 mind saw myself in a kind of similar attire, doing what I had just seen the man do. I  made my decision there and then that I was also a praise poet. That was a beautiful  moment, to think of myself as such. I shook a few people’s hands and the minister  introduced me to the chief, who thanked him for coming and laughingly asked what I  was doing at such a meeting. 10 
And then the poet came to greet Father Fikeni. After their longish chat I was  introduced to him as a very good student – during which time I was frozen and dumb  from disbelief and God knows what else. To feel the poet’s hot, sweaty hand holding  mine I felt baptized as a poet too.  

5.1.1 Complete the following sentences by using the words in the list  below. Write down only the letter next to the question numbers  (5.1.1(a)–5.1.1(d)) in the ANSWER BOOK.

AND 

5.2 ‘THE LAST BREATH’ 
EXTRACT J 
[The narrator and his father go home] 

I sank back in my seat. This was hopeless. For how long would Dad keep  on beating home the fact? As if it wasn’t home already – and what was  more, accepted! 
 ‘Then give her eyes.’ My voice was hoarse with anger. 
 A look of surprise momentarily came to Dad’s face. Then he looked grim. 5  Though he didn’t seem to realise it he increased his speed. I thought I  knew what had got hold of Dad, and the thought brought a faint smile on to  my lips.  
 Dad was confused and angry with himself for it. He had until now thought  Eva as a blind, helpless creature who had stolen my heart. Now he had 10 seen her and perhaps caught a glimpse of the angel in her – and had even  seen, perhaps, how very far from helpless Eva was. 
 ‘What are you going to do?’ I asked in a shout, for now the mad roar of  the car would have drowned anything less. 
Dad didn’t reply. A terrible cough shook his frame and the car swerved 15 dangerously to the edge of the road. 
He corrected this (just in time too!) and settled comfortably in his seat. Neither of us talked again till we got back home.  

5.2.1 Where is the narrator and his father coming from? (1)
5.2.2 Refer to line 2 (‘home the fact’).

QUESTION 1 
Read BOTH TEXT A and TEXT B and answer the set questions. 
TEXT A 

LANGUAGE LENDS A HEALING TOUCH

  1. When Dr Morné Kahts walks into the surgical ward at Groote Schuur Hospital  in Cape Town, patient Lucky Felisono’s eyes light up.
  2. ‘Heita Lucky,’ says Kahts, to which the Atlantis security guard responds,  ‘Heitadaar’. Then the doctor examines the surgical wound on the security  guard’s neck and asks: ‘Uzivanjaningoku ... kusebuhlungu’? [‘How do you 5 feel now ... is it still sore?’]
    ‘Ndifunaukugodukangoku ... ndizivandingconokakhulu.’ [‘I want to go home ...  I feel much better now.’] Felisono replies.
  3. Even though Kahts, 29, and Felisono, 30, were raised in post-apartheid South  Africa, it is unusual for a young white doctor to address his black patient this 10 way. Not only is he greeting him informally, but conversing with a patient in  his mother tongue is rare. Kahts’s fluency in Xhosa is as a result of the  language immersion programme at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT)  medical school, which gives English-speaking students the chance to live with  an Afrikaans- or Xhosa-speaking health worker for two-and-a-half weeks 15 while doing research at a community clinic.
  4. During the experience they are banned from speaking a word of English  unless there is an emergency. This allows them to integrate culturally and  socially with their host families and community. University of Cape Town  family medicine head Professor Derek Hellenberg, who helped to start the 20 programme for second-year students nine years ago, said its aim was to create better communication between health professionals and patients.
  5. It is a strand of the ‘becoming a doctor’ study course, which requires medical  students at the University of Cape Town to learn Afrikaans or Xhosa during  their training – and which has recently been expanded to include sign 25 language. ‘Through this programme we see students taking a full view of  their patients. We hope that knowing their patients’ culture and social  environment will go a long way to improve intercultural relationships between  these English-speaking doctors and the communities they serve,’ said  Hellenberg. 30 
  6. It has worked for Kahts, who said: ‘Speaking with my patients in a language  they understand makes my life as a doctor so much easier. It is easy to  establish a bond and it just opens the gates of communication in a different  way. Patients relate to you so much better when addressing them in their  mother tongue and they do not feel so distant from the treating doctor. It 35 takes away those invisible barriers.’
  7. When he arrived at the University of Cape Town, the medical intern could not  speak a word of Xhosa. Today, he not only speaks with patients, but sings in  vernacular, and last year his contemporary acapella band, Anecnote, won  SA’s Got Talent. Their winning medley, which included Brenda Fassie’s 40Weekend Special, Thath’isgubhu by Bongo Maffin and Xigubu by DJ Ganyani, earned a standing ovation at the final show. None of the group’s  four members, three white English speakers and a Ugandan, were raised  speaking a South African vernacular language.
  8. Dr Ian van Rooyen, an Afrikaans convenor of the ‘becoming a doctor’ course, 45 said other programmes included Afrikaans and Xhosa grammar courses and the integration of languages into bedside teaching for fourth and fifth-year  students. The bedside programme requires students to communicate with  their patients for about seven weeks, take their medical history and give  feedback in Xhosa or Afrikaans. 50
  9. Van Rooyen said that by the time they left medical school, most students were so confident that they no longer needed interpreters, who pose a threat  to doctor-patient confidentiality. ‘We are trying to produce independent  language users and have self-sufficiency,’ he said. 
  10. Ncumisa Mafuya, a registered nurse who has worked with Kahts at Groote 55 Schuur hospital, said the young doctor was well liked by patients and staff. ‘Most doctors tend to use difficult medical terms, but it is different with him,’  she said. ‘He has a way of simplifying things and patients love him ... they  always demand to speak to the ‘tall white doctor’ instead of dealing with  nurses. His ability to speak the language also saves the nurses much time 60 as they are often called in to interpret.’

If you listen to loud music with headphones for a long time, you may suffer permanent  hearing loss. It is important to control the volume levels – if not; you could be forced to  exchange your headphones for a hearing aid. 
South Africa’s 2001 census found that 20,1% of disabled people in South Africa were deaf.  Ten years later, the 2011 census found that 3,6% of the population suffered serious  hearing loss. These statistics include children from as young as five years old.

TIPS FOR FINAL EXAMINATIONS 

With your finals looming on the horizon, you should be thinking about studying and  revision. It can be difficult because everyone is different. There is no magical study  method that works for everyone. There are, however, plenty of techniques. Find one  that works for you. 
During your time away from school, resist the temptation to oversleep. Get up early  and start working as early in the day as possible. Our brains are silly things – sometimes it can be difficult to stay focused on one thing for a long period of time.  The best way to get around this is to revise in sessions of 45 minutes each,  separated by fifteen-minute breaks. Taking breaks does not mean playing video  games or chatting to friends. Stretch your legs or get some fresh air during your  breaks. 
Form a revision group with friends to test one another and check your progress.  Resist the urge to revise while propped up in bed. Sit at a desk or a table where you  can keep your space orderly and avoid sleeping. 
Work through past papers to prepare for exams and familiarise yourself with what  kind of questions to expect. Avoid people who stress too much during exams. It  could affect you negatively. Revision is hard work, so drink water and eat healthily.  Avoid energy drinks and unhealthy snacks. 
Accept that your focus needs to be on revision and passing, so no parties with  friends. Be responsible and wait until you have completed your last paper.

THE POWER OF GRATITUDE 

  1. Gratitude is much more then just saying please and thank you. It is something  you feel – a loving and positive respond acknowledging the things and people  we are lucky enough to experience.
  2. Every child are taught to say please and thank you from a young age, but the  understanding that comes with being thankful takes more time to 5 develop. Encourage children to express gratitude. Model gratitude as an  adult by taking children along when you thank people. This teaches them that  people value being thanked.
  3. Studies suggest that grateful teenagers are much satisfied with their lives.  They do well in their schoolwork and are less envious and materialistic. 10 Grateful teenagers are thoughtful and also tend to support others emotionally.
  4. Acknowledge and talk about people who have dedicated themselves to a  greater good, whether they are well-known figures like Nelson Mandela, or  people who do good everyday like fire fighters and social workers.

SECTION C 
QUESTION 5: MACROECONOMICS 
Discuss in detail how the following factors contribute to poor public sector  provisioning: 

  • Lack of accountability (10) 
  • Inefficiency (8) 
  • Difficulty in assessing needs (8) 

Suggest solutions on how efficiency of state-owned enterprises can be  improved.  
INTRODUCTION 

  • The public sector consists of the central government responsible for national  matters, provincial government responsible for regional matters and local  government responsible for street lighting. ✓✓
    (Accept any other correct relevant introduction) (2)

MAIN PART 
Lack of Accountability 

  • Accountability means to give an explanation for one’s decisions, actions and  expenditures. ✓✓ 
  • The people require the state to use the taxes for the purpose for which they are  raised and not to abuse the powers it was granted. ✓✓ 
  • People employed by the state do not always serve the interests of the public. ✓✓ 
  • They seek to maximise their salaries, status and power and are not required to  produce a profit and loss statement. ✓✓ 
  • They are budget driven. ✓✓ 
  • The state tries to overcome this problem by making civil servants accountable to  the public. ✓✓ 

In South Africa, accountability is underpinned by:  

  • Ministerial responsibilities: ministers are spokespersons for their departments. ✓✓
  • The Director General of each department is accountable for the activities of the  Department ✓✓ 
  • Portfolio Committees: monitor individual departments and make recommendations  to Parliament ✓✓ 
  • Treasury control: the national treasury is responsible for expenditure control ✓✓ 
  • The Treasury committee, chaired by the Minister of Finance, evaluates all  requests for additional funding throughout the year ✓✓ 
  • The Auditor-General reports on each government department ✓✓ 
  • The AG reports on the standard of financial management and points out fraudulent  and unauthorised spending ✓✓ (Max 10) 

Inefficiency  

  • Accountability does not guarantee efficiency. ✓✓ 
  • Public goods must be efficiently provided (Pareto efficiency where the welfare of  the community is at its maximum and it is therefore impossible to increase the  welfare of one individual without making another worse off) ✓✓ 

Three major reasons for inefficiency: 

  • Bureaucracy: ✓ (official rules and procedures) ✓✓ 
  • Officials may focus on correct procedures and rules and are indifferent to the  quantity (e.g. the number of patients attended to) ✓✓and quality of the service (e.g.  explaining the use of the medicine) ✓✓ 
  • Some may be insensitive to the needs of their clients ✓✓ 
  • Incompetence: ✓ i.e. lack of skill or ability to do a task properly ✓✓ 
  • This may be due to improper qualifications, lack of training, experience and an  attitude of apathy. ✓✓ 
  • Corruption: ✓ i.e. exploiting of a person’s position for personal gain ✓✓ 
  • Taking bribes, committing fraud, nepotism, behaving dishonestly and committing  discrimination. ✓✓ (Max. 8) 

Difficulty in assessing needs 

  • In the private sector, the forces of demand and supply dictate prices ✓✓ 
  • The market prices act as signals to the producers, communicating the needs of  consumers and the quantity demanded ✓✓ 
  • State-owned enterprises do not operate according to the forces of demand and  supply ✓✓ 
  • It therefore becomes difficult for state-owned enterprises to assess the needs of  consumers and they are prone to under-or over-supplying public goods✓✓ 
  • People’s needs are endless, so the government is unable to provide for  everyone ✓✓ 
  • Serious structural weaknesses in the economy also cause the government to  undersupply in response to the needs that it identifies ✓✓ 
  • Political agendas are more important than the needs that the government  identifies ✓✓ (Max. 8)

ADDITIONAL PART 
Suggest solutions on how efficiency of state-owned enterprises can be  improved. 
Efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) can be improved by: 

  • Having proper and clear guidelines to fight corruption ✓✓ 
  • Forming Private Public Partnerships to enable a faster, more efficient delivery of  goods and service. ✓✓ 
  • Setting clear costing and development mandates with financial implications  clearly set out. ✓✓ 
  • Developing a framework for the appointment and remuneration of members to the  Board of State-owned companies. ✓✓ 
  • Ensuring efficient management. ✓✓ 
  • Focusing on scarce resources for highest financial impact, ✓✓ e.g. encouraging a competitive work culture by hiring and retaining talented individuals  through competitive compensation packages. ✓✓
    (Accept any other correct relevant response) (10)

Conclusion 
Efficient public sector provisioning in South Africa is key for a higher growth rate,  higher employment rate and a better standard of living of all ✓✓ 
(Accept any higher order relevant conclusion) (2) [40]

Discuss in detail the appropriateness of South Africa’s regional development  policies in terms of international benchmark criteria. (26) 
How successful has the SA government been in meeting the aims of regional  development? (10) 

INTRODUCTION 
Regional development is the promotion of economic development in areas where  poverty, unemployment and income inequality are high. ✓✓ 
(Accept any correct relevant introduction) 

MAIN PART 

  • Competitiveness ✓ 
    • Industries established as a result of regional policies should be  competitive. ✓✓
