QUESTION 2
2.1 Read through the case study (FIGURE 2.1) on a social justice issue (land
reform) and answer the questions that follow. (September 2015)
FIGURE 2.1 : CASE STUDY – LAND REFORM
Patrick Mojapelo (59) has waited more than five years for the South
African government to return 30 farms “stolen‟ from his community in the
1930‟s. “We have been claiming our land through the government‟s land
restitution programme since 1995 and so far we haven‟t even got one
farm. We keep meeting with Department of Land Affairs‟ officials and they
make so many promises, but we still don‟t have a single farm,” said
Mojapelo. Mojapelo joined protesters at the Union Buildings in Tshwane to
make his point to the president. “The dispossession of black people of
their land was a central part of the apartheid regime‟s systematic
subjugation of the black majority, politically, economically, culturally and
socially. In the absence of any meaningful land reform, the effects of this
history of dispossession continue to keep people in poverty today. Despite
this, there has been no fundamental change in land access and ownership
in South Africa since 1994,” said Mojapelo, reading from a memorandum
from protesters to the president.

QUESTION 4

(June 2018)
WATER CRISIS HITS BEAUFORT WEST
One by one South Africa’s rural towns have succumbed as a
catastrophic drought tightens its grip, turning vast areas into ground
zero. Collapsed water infrastructure, theft and corruption have brought
the future into the present with a bang.
With South Africa experiencing a water deficit of 38 billion cubic metres
annually and needing an additional R30 billion a year to bridge the gap
in water services infrastructure, the situation is a daily living nightmare
for thousands of people.

have no access to. (1x1) (1)
4.1.2 Why is this resource (your answer to QUESTION 4.1.1.)
considered to be a social justice issue? (1x1) (1)
4.1.3 According to the article, what has contributed to the lack of
this resource? (answer to QUESTION 4.1.1) (1x1) (1)
4.1.4 What is meant by ‘... ground zero’ in the context of the
article?
(1x2) (2)
4.1.5 Why has it not been possible to provide water infrastructure
to the rural community of Beaufort West? (2x2) (4)
4.1.6 Evaluate the negative impact of the water crisis on
employment in rural areas. (3x2) (6)
