QUESTION 1: WHY DID CUBA BECOME THE FOCAL POINT OF THE COLD  WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE  SOVIET UNION IN THE 1960s? 
SOURCE 1A 
This source explains how President Eisenhower and President Kennedy of the United  States of America responded to Cuba becoming a communist country in the 1960s.

President Eisenhower had early on suspected that Castro would take Cuba down the  communist path, so in March 1960 he had secretly authorised the use of thirteen million dollars to train Cuban exiles, the people who had fled Cuba, to carry out an  invasion of Cuba and oust (remove) Castro. 
Approximately fifteen hundred (1 500) exiles volunteered to be trained for this job by  the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The top secret training took place in the  central American countries of Guatemala and Nicaragua. 
When President Kennedy took office, he inherited the Cuban problem. He had been  briefed by Eisenhower's administration about the plans to remove Castro. Surprised,  Kennedy nevertheless allowed the CIA and the Cuban exiles to proceed. However,  knowing that it would look bad for a powerful nation to invade a tiny island, he refused  to involve the American military: US military aircraft would not be allowed to provide  cover for the invasion. Kennedy hoped it would appear that the United States had  played no part. The CIA and the 1 500 exiles, sure that the Cuban people would rise  up and help their efforts against Castro, went ahead with their invasion on  17 April 1961, at a swampy beach area known as the Bay of Pigs. 
Castro had received word of the planned invasion through informants who knew of the  exiles and had his army ready with Soviet-made tanks. The defeat of the invading  exiles was swift and complete. It was clear the failed invasion was backed by the  United States, because the band of exiles could have never become so organised or  bold … 
Now firmly in the communist camp, Castro was against American imperialism.

SOURCE 1B 
The source below is an extract from a letter that was written by the Soviet Premier,  Nikita Khrushchev, to the US President, JF Kennedy, on 18 April 1961. It called for an  end of the United States of America's aggression against Cuba.

Mr President, I send you this message in an hour of alarm, fraught (troubled) with  danger for the peace of the whole world. Armed aggression has begun against Cuba.  It is a secret to no one that the armed bands invading this country were trained,  equipped and armed in the United States of America. The planes which are bombing  Cuban cities belong to the United States of America; the bombs they are dropping are  being supplied by the American government.  
All of this evokes (arouses) here in the Soviet Union an understandable feeling of  indignation (anger) on the part of the Soviet government and the Soviet people.  
Only recently, in exchanging opinions through our respective representatives, we  talked with you about the mutual desire of both sides to put forward joint efforts  directed toward improving relations between our countries and eliminating (removing)  the danger of war. How can what is being done by the United States in reality be  understood, when an attack on Cuba has now become a fact?  
It is still not late to avoid the irreparable (damage). The government of the USA still  has the possibility of not allowing the flame of war ignited (started) by interventions in  Cuba to grow into an incomparable conflagration (disaster).  
As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, there should be no mistake about our  position: We will render the Cuban people and their government all necessary help to  repel (prevent) armed attack on Cuba.  

 [From The Kennedy-Khrushchev Letters by T Fensch, ed.]

SOURCE 1C 
This source explains how President Khrushchev assisted Cuba.

Although he had defeated the Cuban exiles' who invaded at the Bay of Pigs, Castro  was afraid the United States still wanted to invade Cuba in order to get rid of him,  change the government, and destroy Cuba's communist revolution. So he asked his  friend, Soviet Chairman Khrushchev, for more help.  
Khrushchev secretly began sending nuclear missiles to Cuba. Weapons of mass  annihilation (destruction) were now only 90 miles away from the United States. It is  likely that Khrushchev and Castro believed that these deadly missiles would convince  the United States to leave Cuba alone. They were wrong. 
The United States, using special spy planes equipped with powerful cameras,  discovered that missile sites were being built and also came to the conclusion that  Soviet ships were sailing from Russia to Cuba with offensive missiles (they did not  know that some of these missiles had already reached Cuba).  
President Kennedy and his advisors were horrified (shocked) and angry by these  discoveries. They felt that they had to respond to the situation. The problem was:  'how?' What should they do about the possibility of nuclear missiles pointing at them  from only 90 miles away?

QUESTION 2: HOW DID THE INTERVENTION BY FOREIGN POWERS  INTENSIFY COLD WAR TENSIONS IN ANGOLA BETWEEN  1974 AND 1976? 
SOURCE 2A 
This source explains how the MPLA, FNLA and UNITA fought over control of Angola  after it attained independence in 1975.

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. The Soviet Union provided military training and equipment to the MPLA.  During the summer of 1975, the Soviet-supported MPLA was able to consolidate  power in Luanda and oust (get rid of) the US-supported FNLA from the capital, but the  FNLA continued to attack. 

 [From http://history.state.gov/milestones/1969-1976/angola. Accessed on 16 September 2017.] 

SOURCE 2B 
The source 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 the Chinese, the United States was  giving aid to one side of the 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 Angola 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 being recruited and trained in the United States to join  them. But John Stockwell, the head of the CIA's Angola task force, puts the number of  American mercenaries (hired soldiers) 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 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 services, 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 …

SOURCE 2D 
This extract contains an explanation by Raul Diaz Arguelles, head of Decima Direccion (the special task force in charge of all Cuban military missions abroad) on why Cuba  became involved in Angola from 1975.

'We arrived in Luanda, Angola, on Sunday, 3 August, and made contact with the  MPLA,' Diaz Arguelles reported to Raul Castro … 'In our first conversation with Neto … we explained the purpose of our visit, which we based on the following points: 

  • The request made by the MPLA … in January and the request made later in  Mozambique by Cheito (Xiyeto), the chief of staff of FAPLA.
  • We wanted to clarify what aid we should offer, given the FNLA's and Mobutu's  aggression against the MPLA and the possible course of events before  independence in November. We knew the forces of reaction and imperialism would  try all their might to prevent the MPLA from taking power because it would mean a  progressive government in Angola. Therefore we were bringing Neto the militant  solidarity of our Commander in Chief, our party and our government, and we gave  him 100 000 dollars. 

In the course of this conversation the Angolans complained about the paucity (lack) of  aid from the socialist camp, and they pointed out that if the socialist camp does not  help them … whereas the imperialists (USA) are helping the FNLA in every way  possible. They also complained that the Soviet Union stopped helping them in 1972  and that the military aid is now sending is paltry (worthless), given the enormity (scale)  of the need …' 
Meanwhile Diaz Arguelles' proposal for a military mission had been dramatically (greatly) expanded in Havana. The revised plan called for the dispatch of 480 men who  would create (establish) and staff training centres, which would train some  5 300 Angolans in three to six months. Cuba would supply the weapons as well as  food, clothing, camping gear, toiletries, medicine, cots and bedclothes. In other words  Cuba, decided to offer Neto almost five times as many instructors as he had  requested.

QUESTION 3: WHAT WERE THE RESPONSES TO THE FORMATION OF THE  BLACK PANTHER PARTY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA  IN THE 1960s? 
SOURCE 3A 
The extract below describes the formation and the strategies of the Black Panther  Party in the 1960s.

One of the most radical of all Black Power groups, the Black Panther Party, was  founded by Huey Newton, age 24, and Bobby Searle, age 30, in Oaklands, California, in October 1966. In ideological terms Newton and Searle were strongly influenced by  Malcolm X and revolutionaries like Che Guevara, Frantz Fanon and Mao Zedong. The  principle demands of the Panthers were incorporated into a ten-point manifesto. The  manifesto was nationalistic in tone. Individual aims in it included: a payment of  reparations to African Americans by the federal government, as compensation for  slavery; an exemption of blacks from military service; and freedom for blacks held in  federal, state, county and city prisons, unless tried by a jury of their peers from within  the black community … 
… The Panthers undertook to monitor levels of police brutality and the harassment of  black communities by law-enforcement officers. They also adopted a paramilitary style  uniform of black berets, pale blue shirts, black leather jackets and black trousers and  shoes. They asserted the constitutional right of all US citizens to carry arms (guns), as  defined in the second amendment to the US constitution. Party members appeared  heavily armed in public and Panther patrols followed police cars around the ghetto  (townships/urban areas with a majority African American population). This resulted  in tense relations with law-enforcement agencies and, in some instances, violent  shoot-outs.

The extract below describes the community and political work that the Black Panther  Party undertook in various states in the United States of America during the 1960s.

By 1970 the Black Panther Party had nearly 5 000 members in more than 20 states.  From San Diego to New Haven, Panthers and sympathisers were active in scores of  programmes and service projects … The Panthers made copious (many) attempts to  meet people's fundamental needs. More than anything these programmes attracted  people to the party. By 1969 the Black Panther Party had free breakfast programmes  in 19 locations, feeding 20 000 children weekly. The Panthers developed liberation  schools, as well as the celebrated free health clinics that provided free sickle-cell  (a genetic disease mainly affecting people of African origin) testing in Chicago,  Portland, Los Angeles, New York and other cities.  
The Panthers founded the National Committee to Combat Fascism which brought  together a broad collection of organisations to resist the war in Vietnam, police brutality  and a range of other issues which were deemed (thought) harmful to African American  people … To the young and determined rank and file (ordinary members) of the party,  the Panthers were the vanguard (spearhead) of the revolution.  
The Panthers spread across the country, attracting thousands of young people to  commit to the struggle in ways few organisations demanded … Different chapters  (groups) would have different characteristics that reflected provincial (local) issues …  The Black Panthers wanted to walk with the people towards revolution, even if this  meant that its member must take the first step. 

[From Black Power, Radical Politics and African American Identity by JOG Ogbar]

SOURCE 3D 
The source below describes the action that was taken against the Black Panther Party  by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during the 1960s.

The FBI denounced (criticised) the Black Panther Party itself as a group of 'communist  outlaws' bent (determined) on overthrowing the US government. 
Armed with that definition and all the machinery of the federal government,  J Edgar Hoover directed the FBI to wage a campaign to eliminate (destroy) the Black  Panther Party altogether, commanding the assistance of local police departments to do  so. Indeed, as Hoover stated in 1968 that the party represented 'the greatest threat to  the internal security of the US,' he pledged that 1969 would be the last year of the  party's existence … By the end of that year, nearly every office and other facility of the  Black Panther Party had been violently assaulted by police and the FBI … There had  been every kind of assault imaginable on the Party's social programmes and  destruction of party property. Police raiders smashed the eggs of the breakfast  programme, crushed the party's free clinic supplies and caused the destruction of  batches of the party's newspapers. The FBI's so called counter-intelligence  programme, known as COINTELPRO, directed its field offices and local police to  destroy the party through the use of informants, agents provocateur (troublemakers)  and covert activities involving mayhem (chaos) and murder. 
Nevertheless, the party survived and continued to build its survival programmes, which  came to include not only the free breakfast programmes and free clinics, but also  grocery giveaways, the manufacture and distribution of free shoes, school and  education programmes, senior transport and service programmes, free bus services to  prisons and prisoner support and legal aid programmes, among others.

QUESTION 1: WHAT IMPACT DID THE PHILOSOPHY OF BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS (BC) HAVE ON SOUTH AFRICANS IN THE  1970s? 
SOURCE 1A 
The source below outlines the philosophy of Black Consciousness and how it  influenced the formation of the South African Students' Organisation (SASO).

According to Bantu Stephen Biko, 'Black Consciousness seeks to show the black  people the value of their own standards and outlook. It urges black people to judge  themselves according to these standards and not to be fooled by white society who  have white-washed themselves and made white standards the yardstick (measure) by  which even black people judge each other.' 
… As a supporter of the Black Consciousness (BC) philosophy, together with other  literate Africans residing in the major urban centres, Biko developed into a highly  respected intellectual in the 1960s. Biko began his search for self-identity and hoped to  build up the pride of black culture, a culture that was scornfully (disrespectfully) viewed  by the settler regime. Biko and his student colleagues had been receptive (open) to the  political ideas expressed by many Black intellectuals, and learned to use the emotional  power of the message of Black Consciousness. 
… Black university students had tried for many years to make progress through the  multiracial and liberal National Union of South African Students (NUSAS). In particular,  NUSAS was outspoken in its criticism of government actions, especially at English speaking universities where its membership was strong.  
Young black students were inspired by Biko's ideology and wanted to establish an  exclusively all-Black movement. In 1969, African students launched a blacks-only  student union, the South African Students' Organisation (SASO) to which Biko was  elected president.

The review below is of a speech delivered by Anne Heffernen of Onkgopotse Tiro  (member of SASO) at Turfloop University in 1972. It focuses on how members of  SASO felt about Bantu Education.

… By the early 1970s, thanks to SASO's organisation on the campus, Turfloop was a  hotbed (centre) of activism. Boycotts and protest marches became a regular feature of  student life. In 1972 the rural campus came to national attention. At the university's  graduation that year, Onkgopotse Tiro, a SASO member and former president of the  SRC, gave a fiery (powerful) speech condemning Bantu Education and its  implementation at Turfloop. Tiro attacked the fact that a supposedly black university  was controlled by white leadership, that white companies received contracts to supply  the campus and that white dignitaries took seats from black parents who came to see  their children graduate.  
The speech sparked controversy at Turfloop and beyond. The all-white council of the  university expelled Tiro. Black academic staff walked out of the meeting where that  decision was announced, in protest. In response to Tiro's expulsion, Turfloop students  boycotted classes until administrators shut down the university and sent all the  students home. Meanwhile, students on other black campuses around the country  participated in solidarity protests and boycotts. SASO strengthened its national links  between campuses through this process.

The extract below is a response by Bantu Stephen Biko on the success of the  philosophy of Black Consciousness.

We have been successful to the extent that we have diminished the element of fear in  the minds of black people. During the 1960s black people were terribly scared of  involvement in politics. The universities were putting out no useful leadership to the  black people because everybody found it more comfortable to lose themselves in a  particular profession, to make money. But since those days, black students have seen  their role as being primarily to prepare themselves for leadership roles in the various  facets of the black community. Through our political articulation (expression) of the  aspirations of black people, many black people have come to appreciate the need to  stand up and be counted against the system.  
There is far more political talk now, far more political debate and far more  condemnation of the system from average black people than there has ever been. I'm  referring here to the whole oppressive education system that the students are talking  about. After complaining about it, the apartheid government wants to further entrench  what the students are protesting about by bringing in police and Saracens (armoured  cars) and dogs. 
Now, the response of the students then was in terms of their pride. They were not  prepared to be calmed down even at the point of a gun. And hence, what happened,  happened. Some people were killed. These uprisings just continued and continued.

QUESTION 2: HOW DID THE AMNESTY COMMITTEE OF THE TRUTH AND  RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (TRC) DEAL WITH THE DEATH  OF BANTU STEPHEN BIKO? 
SOURCE 2A 
The extract below focuses on the reasons for the formation of the Truth and  Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was formed in 1995 to investigate  human rights violations since 1960 and to grant amnesty to those perpetrators who  made full disclosure. The commission also had to foster reconciliation and unity among  South Africans. In exchange for full confessions of politically motivated crimes, the  TRC promised amnesty for those who came forward. In 1997 the five former security  officers who interrogated Steven Biko on 6 September 1967 applied for amnesty from  the TRC. The TRC's mandate was to be even-handed, but its composition was hardly  balanced. The chairman, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, was a patron of the United  Democratic Front, the ANC's internal front since the early 1980s … 
At the time, the TRC was the first restorative justice process of its kind to conduct  public hearings and provide space for survivors to tell their stories in their own words. These hearings served as an important symbolic function in a country where the  system of governance had been premised (founded) on the denial and silencing of, in  particular, black voices. 
Altogether the commission received some 21 300 statements from victims and  recorded some 38 000 gross violations of human rights. More than one thousand  perpetrators received amnesty after full disclosure. Instead of concentrating on the  context of a deed, the commission focused on the perpetrator or victim, with the result  that the context was in most cases only scantily (poorly) sketched (addressed). Cross examination of victims was not allowed in the victim hearings, but hearsay evidence  was. 

[From Race and Reconciliation by D Herwitz]

SOURCE 2B 
The extract below is part of a statement that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission  issued. It focuses on the application for amnesty by the five security policemen who  were responsible for the killing of Bantu Stephen Biko.

In January 1997, a group of notorious (ruthless) security policemen from the regional  headquarters in Port Elizabeth applied for amnesty for a string of murders in the  Eastern Cape. For years their names had struck terror in the townships as they cruised  (went) about acting with impunity (without approval). Now their only hope of avoiding  prosecution was to testify before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  
Their most famous victim was Bantu Stephen Biko, a dynamic young leader from the  Eastern Cape whose short life had a profound impact on black politics and thinking and  whose lonely death was to stand as a permanent monument to police brutality. 
Twenty years later the death of Biko was to be tested at a TRC amnesty hearing. Five  members of the interrogation (questioning) team were present: Major Harold Snyman,  Captain Daniel Siebert, Warrant Officer Johan Beneke, Warrant Officer Rubin Marx  and Detective Sergeant Gideon Nieuwoudt. 
The five policemen applied for amnesty for culpable homicide (murder). George Bizos,  on behalf of the Biko family, opposed the amnesty. 'The applicants', he said, 'had not  made a full disclosure of what had happened.' Statements made at the inquest have  merely been modified (altered) to try and explain away concrete evidence which did  not fit in with the false evidence given at the inquest. Nor did they have a political  motive when they fatally injured Biko. Torturing helpless detainees for the purposes of  extracting information to the point that they end up dead is not a political objective.'

This source focuses on why amnesty was not granted to four security policemen  responsible for the killing of Bantu Stephen Biko.

AMNESTY DECISION ON DEATH OF STEVE BIKO 

Four former officers of the security branch, who applied for amnesty for the murder of  Black Consciousness leader Bantu Stephen Biko in September 1997, were this week  refused amnesty by the Amnesty Committee of the TRC and their applications were  dismissed. 
The four officers who interrogated (questioned) Biko were Daniel Siebert, Warrant  Officer Johannes Beneke, Warrant Officer Rubin Marx and Harold Snyman. Their  accomplice and fifth applicant, Gideon Johannes Nieuwoudt, whose application was  heard by a different amnesty panel, was refused amnesty in December last year. 
In refusing amnesty to the four applicants, the committee based its decision on the  following reasons: 

  1. The killing of Biko was not an act associated with a political objective, as required  by the Amnesty Act. 
  2. The committee was not satisfied that the applicants had made a full disclosure, as  further required by the Act. 
  3. It was not satisfied that the applicants testified truthfully to the events leading to the  injury of Biko. 
  4. Finally the committee said it was satisfied that the killing of Biko was wholly  (entirely) disproportionate (unbalanced) to any possible objective pursued by the  applicants.

QUESTION 3: HOW WAS SOUTH AFRICA'S CLOTHING AND TEXTILE  INDUSTRY AFFECTED BY GLOBALISATION? 
SOURCE 3A 
The article below focuses on the impact that trade liberalisation had on the clothing  and textile industry in South Africa. It was written by the Minister of Economic  Development, E Patel, for The Journalist.

Before the transition (change) to democracy, the clothing and textile industry employed  roughly 250 000 workers. It was supported by very high tariffs that kept foreign goods  out, very low wages that kept costs down and substantial financial subsidies that kept  businesses alive, particularly in the old homelands areas … which were not  sustainable from the mid-1980s onwards. 
In 1993, on the eve of the new democracy, South Africa took part in talks on a new  global trade deal aimed at setting lower tariffs and opening markets across the world. South Africa was represented by the out-going government, which had little interest in  long-term development and which offered to dramatically slash protection for local  industry. Even though the trade unions, with the support of Nelson Mandela (before he  became president of the country) tried to reverse this, they were only partially  successful. 
The result was that over the first decade of the democracy, protection for the clothing  and textile industry was lowered every year, from a high of 100% to 40% by 2002.  At the same time, China was building a massive, very competitive clothing industry  geared at export to other parts of the world. The result was that locally-made clothing  began to be replaced increasingly with imported goods, mainly from China. 
As imports started pouring into South Africa in the late 1990s, it led to very deep  destruction of jobs and the closing of factories. The effect of opening our markets as  quickly and as widely as this, were devastating (shocking).

SOURCE 3B 
The source below is a part of a transcript of an interview that E Vlok, the Director of  Research, Southern African Clothing and Textile Workers' Union, gave on Cape Talk Radio on 6 April 2017. It outlines how globalisation impacted on South Africa's clothing  and textile industry.

SOUTH AFRICAN CLOTHING AND TEXTILE INDUSTRY DROPS FROM 200 000  JOBS TO 19 000 
6 April 2017, 15:55: CAPE TALK 

Ettienne Vlok, Director of Research at the Southern African Clothing and Textile  Workers' Union, spoke with Azania Mosaka about the challenges facing the textile  industry. 
Vlok says the impact of cheap imports on the local clothing industry has created a  significant decline in the number of people being employed. 
'About 15 years ago we had approximately 200 000 people in the clothing and textile  industry and we're down to about 19 000 now. Beyond the statistics it means that a lot  of people have been retrenched, a lot of factories have closed down.' 
Vlok adds that these numbers have contributed to the high numbers of unemployment and inequalities in South Africa. He says the industry is unique (different) in many  ways, one being that four out of every five workers are women compared to other  manufacturing sectors. This had a major impact on poverty eradication (removal)  among working class communities. 
'If we grow this industry, we are able to contribute to gender equity.' Vlok also  addresses the potential of major clothing and textile hubs in rural areas being able to  create jobs. He says another major challenge is the inability to compete with countries  such as China, which uses ways (low production cost) to make their products much  cheaper.

SOURCE 3D 
This article focuses on the measures that the South African government took to bring about a turnaround in the clothing and textile industry. It appeared in the City Press on  11 October 2017.

The Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, Jeff Radebe, highlighted the clothing and textile industry as one of the sectors where the economy  could most effectively be bolstered (boosted).  
This is something of a miraculous turnaround, particularly in the face of investment downgrades and economic and socio-political instability. The clothing and textile  industry was one of the hardest hit by globalisation and increased competition following  the opening of South Africa's borders to global markets post 1994.  
Facing high import duties and the increased illegal imports and cheap textiles from  China, Pakistan and elsewhere, coupled with insufficient investment, the industry went  into decline. 
Fortunately a number of conscious interventions were implemented that have helped to  turn things around. 
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) developed a nation-wide clothing and  textile competitiveness programme (CTCP) whose broader objective is 'to assist the  industry in upgrading processes, products and people to re-position it so as to compete  effectively against other low-cost producing countries …' 
In fact the South Africa Conference (on clothing and textiles) brought to light that the  CTCP had created some 12 000 jobs and assisted more than 400 companies.  
According to Ebrahim Patel, local manufacturing industry sales in clothing, textiles,  footwear and leather increased from about R41,8bn in 2010 to over R50bn in 2015; an  increase of 21% over five years.

1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS 
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based questions: 

Cognitive  Levels 

Historical skills 

Weighting
of  
questions

LEVEL 1

  • Extract evidence from sources
  • Selection and organisation of relevant  information from sources
  • Define historical concepts/terms

30%

LEVEL 2

  • Interpretation of evidence from sources
  • Explain information gathered from sources
  • Analyse evidence from sources

40%

LEVEL 3

  • Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
  • Engage with sources to determine its  usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations
  • Compare and contrast interpretations and  perspectives presented in sources and draw  independent conclusions 

30% 

(15)

1.2 The information below indicates how source-based questions are assessed:

  • In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any  other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples.
  • In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the requirements  of the question have been addressed. 
  • In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that need to  be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated in italics.
  • When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be  credited for any other relevant answers. 
  • Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what extent’  questions in order for any marks to be awarded. 

1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions 

  • Use a tick (✔) for each correct answer. 
  • Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two reasons  and is given two marks each (✔✔✔✔); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason  and is given two marks (✔✔). 
  • If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks (✔✔✔✔). 

Paragraph question  
Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content and  structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding a mark. The  following steps must be used when assessing a response to a paragraph question:

  • Read the paragraph and place a bullet (.) at each point within the text where  the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the question. 
  • Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has been  able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
  • At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate has been  awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1,2, or 3) as indicated in the  holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g.
    ______________________________________ . _________________________ _________________ . ____________________________ . _________________  Level 2 √√√√√
    Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph 
  • Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on the  right hand bottom margin e.g. 32/ 50 
  • Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back cover of  the answer script. 

2. ESSAY QUESTIONS 
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:  

  • Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They  need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are  able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to  answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a  coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion. 

2.2 Marking of essay questions 

  • Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by the  textbooks in use at the particular centre. 
  • Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion than  those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific essay. 

2.3 Global assessment of the essay 
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the  teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main points of  the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write an original  argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of argument. The learner  will not be required to simply regurgitate content (facts) in order to achieve a level  7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and  reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into  account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are supported  by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise  language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following: 

  • The learner's interpretation of the question 
  • The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection) 
  • The construction of an argument (planned, structured and has an independent  line of argument) 

2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay 
2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay. 
2.4.2 During the reading of the essay, ticks need to be awarded for a relevant  introduction (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline), the  main aspects/body of the essay that sustains/defends the line of argument  (which is indicated by bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant  conclusion (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline).  
For example in an essay where there are five (5) main points there could be  about seven (7) ticks. 
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind in assessing an essay. 

Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of  argument/making a major point. Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major point  (line of argument) that was made in the introduction.

Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what the  main point is about and how it relates to the question posed (line of  argument).

Example: Candidates should answer the question by selecting  content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant examples  should be given to sustain the line of argument.

Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is  sustained throughout and is written coherently.

2.4.4 The following additional symbols can also be used: 

  • Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised  ^ 
  • Wrong statement _________________ 
  • Irrelevant statement |
                                     |
                                     | 
  • Repetition R  
  • Analysis A√ 
  • Interpretation I√ 
  • Line of Argument LOA 

2.5 The matrix 
2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays  
In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should be used.  When assessing the essay note both the content and presentation. At the point of  intersection of the content and presentation based on the seven competency  levels, a mark should be awarded. 
(a) The first reading of the essay will be to determine to what extent the  main aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level (on  the matrix). 

LEVEL 4

                                
     

(b) The second reading of the essay will relate to the level (on the matrix)  of presentation. 

LEVEL 4

                                 

LEVEL 3

 

(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

  • Compare and contrast interpretations and  perspectives presented in sources and draw  independent conclusions 

30% 

(15)

1.2 The information below indicates how source-based questions are assessed:

  • In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any  other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples.
  • In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the requirements  of the question have been addressed. 
  • In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that need to  be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated in italics.
  • When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be  credited for any other relevant answers. 
  • Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what extent’  questions in order for any marks to be awarded. 

1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions 

  • Use a tick (✔) for each correct answer. 
  • Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two reasons  and is given two marks each (✔✔✔✔); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason  and is given two marks (✔✔). 
  • If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks (✔✔✔✔). 

Paragraph question  
Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content and  structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding a mark. The  following steps must be used when assessing a response to a paragraph question: 

  • Read the paragraph and place a bullet (.) at each point within the text where  the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the question. 
  • Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has been  able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
  • At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (√) that the candidate has been  awarded for the paragraph; as well as the level (1,2, or 3) as indicated in the  holistic rubric and a brief comment e.g.
    ______________________________________ . _________________________ _________________ . ____________________________ . _________________  Level 2 √√√√√ 

Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph 

  • Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark on the  right hand bottom margin e.g. 32/ 50 
  • Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back cover of  the answer script. 

2. ESSAY QUESTIONS 
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:  

  • Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They  need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are  able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to  answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a  coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion. 

2.2 Marking of essay questions 

  • Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by the  textbooks in use at the particular centre. 
  • Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion than  those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific essay. 

2.3 Global assessment of the essay 
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the  teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main points of  the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write an original  argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of argument. The learner  will not be required to simply regurgitate content (facts) in order to achieve a level  7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and  reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into  account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are supported  by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise  language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following: 

  • The learner's interpretation of the question 
  • The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection) 
  •  The construction of an argument (planned, structured and has an independent  line of argument) 

2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay 
2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay. 
2.4.2 During the reading of the essay, ticks need to be awarded for a relevant  introduction (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline), the  main aspects/body of the essay that sustains/defends the line of argument  (which is indicated by bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant  conclusion (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline).  
For example in an essay where there are five (5) main points there could be  about seven (7) ticks. 
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind in assessing an essay. 

Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of  argument/making a major point. Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major point  (line of argument) that was made in the introduction.

Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what the  main point is about and how it relates to the question posed (line of  argument).

Example: Candidates should answer the question by selecting  content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant examples  should be given to sustain the line of argument.

Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is  sustained throughout and is written coherently.

2.4.4 The following additional symbols can also be used: 

  • Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised  ^ 
  • Wrong statement _________________ 
  • Irrelevant statement |
                                    |
                                    | 
  • Repetition R 
  • Analysis A√ 
  • Interpretation I√ 
  • Line of Argument LOA 

2.5 The matrix 
2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays  
In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should be used.  When assessing the essay note both the content and presentation. At the point of  intersection of the content and presentation based on the seven competency  levels, a mark should be awarded. 
(a) The first reading of the essay will be to determine to what extent the  main aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level (on  the matrix). 

LEVEL 4

                               
     

(b) The second reading of the essay will relate to the level (on the matrix)  of presentation. 

LEVEL 4
