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. [From http://ic.galegroup.com/ic/uhic/ReferenceDetailspage/ReferenceDetailsWindow? Accessed on 18 November 2017.] |
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. [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. [From On the Brink: from the Bay of Pigs to the Cuban Missile Crisis by M Mooney] |
SOURCE 1D
The map below illustrates a naval blockade that the United States of America imposed on Soviet ships that intended entering Cuba in October 1962.
[From http://libguides.monroe2boces.org. Accessed on 9 February 2018.]
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.

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.

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:
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 …' [From Conflicting Missions: Havana, Washington, Pretoria by P Gleijeses] |
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 … [From Black Civil Rights in America by K Verney] |

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.

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.' [From http:// www.sahistory.org.za/topic/defining-black-consciousness. Accessed on 8 February 2018.] |
SOURCE 1B
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.

SOURCE 1D
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. [From I Write What I Like: STEVE BIKO by A Stubbs ed.] |
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 … [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. [From http://www.justice.gov.za/trc/media/pr/1999/p990216a.htm.

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.

2. ESSAY QUESTIONS
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:
2.2 Marking of essay questions
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:
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.
P | 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. |
E | 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). |
E | 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. |
L | 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:
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).
C | LEVEL 4 | |
(b) The second reading of the essay will relate to the level (on the matrix) of presentation.
