Dear Grade 11 Learner

Even though we no longer experience the extremes of the COVID 19

pandemic, its impact is still felt in many societies. South Africa’s new

challenge includes loadshedding as we go through the different levels with

all its challenges. Various measures were put and are still in place to

prevent the spread of the pandemic – the challenge of loadshedding

brings with it, its very own unique challenges.

Throughout the pandemic many have lost loved ones and breadwinners.

Loadshedding has increased the loss in livelihoods as many businesses

are forced to downsize. But you must always remember to remain focused

on your goals. You are encouraged to stay disciplined, persevere and

keep on keeping on!!!!!

A gentle reminder ... It is important to

remember that the virus has no feet,
nor hands …
we are the ones who help it to move.
So, adhere to the health protocols.

Below are a few protocols:

❖ Tell someone when you feel sick feeling sick (do not come to school)
❖ Refrain from teasing anyone who are sick 9(infected with virus)
❖ Wash hands frequently with soap and water
❖ Refrain from touching eyes, mouth & face
❖ Not share cups, eating utensils, food, drinks with others
❖ Sneeze or cough into a bent elbow or tissue
❖ Share information with family & friends

SANITISE…ALWAYS WEAR A MASK… MAINTAIN SOCIAL

DISTANCING…AND STAY SAFE!

QUESTION: 1
1.1 Read the article below and answer the questions that follow.

CLIMATE CHANGE: HEATWAVES

South Africa will experience heatwaves of unprecedented duration and frequency

within the next decade, warned professor of climatology Francois Engelbrecht.
“This is a typical El Niño summer,” Engelbrecht said. “Usually, when we have an El
Niño event, we tend to experience summers with above normal temperatures, below
normal rainfall and a high frequency of heatwaves. This is typical of an El Niño
summer — before we even talk about global warming.

“It is just because of the fact that, during El Niño summers, we get many strong high-
pressure systems building up over Southern Africa and those are the weather
systems that cause heatwaves and, at the same time, they are suppressing rainfall.”
From January to October 2023, the planet was 1.43°C warmer on average than pre-
industrial levels, he said. “Humanity is on the verge of exceeding for the first time
the 1.5°C threshold of dangerous global warming.”

In 2021, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said the 1.5°C threshold
would be permanently exceeded by the early 2030s, though other estimates say this
will unfold towards the end of the 2020s.

QUESTION 2:

Read the article below and answer the questions that follow.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN (VAW)

Violence against women and girls is a serious problem in the country and in the
world. At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten,
forced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime. The abuser is usually
someone known to the victim. The situation is worsened by unequal power
relations that subject women to abusive tendencies by men. Some men do not
seem to realise that they are actually abusing women because of socialisation and
cultural biases.

QUESTION 3
Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follow.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION - NOT ONLY DEGRADATION OF NATURE

One of the biggest challenges facing humanity is environmental degradation - the

destruction of the world around us. Not only our physical environments are being
destroyed by various industrial and farming practices, but it goes hand in hand with
social degradation. Environmental degradation increases the vulnerability of
societies and contributes to the shortage of resources. Illnesses from pollution cause
financial loss due to the need for medicines and special food, and the loss of
manpower.

• gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere✓
which results in regular change in temperatures and weather patterns. ✓
or
• ongoing heating of Earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere ✓ that
unusual extreme weather patterns that have a potential to cause
storms/floods/earthquakes/ landslides/extreme rain patterns. ✓
AND
Activities that could contribute towards global warming could include
the following:
• burning of coal/fossil fuels/gas/poisonous substances✓
• cutting down forests/deforestation✓
• increase in livestock farming✓
• using fertilisers that contain nitrogen✓
• using products that contain fluorinated/damaging gases✓
• increase in factories/huge emission of carbon dioxide from factories✓
1.1.2 Discuss FOUR negative effects that climate change could have on the
wellbeing of communities. (4 x 2) (8)

Marks should be awarded as follows: TWO (✓✓) marks for a well explained
response.
Learners’ responses should be organised in the following manner:
Statement ✓ and qualifier ✓

• Rising temperatures can lead to an increase in heat-related illnesses ✓

such as heatstroke and dehydration. It can also lead to respiratory
problems like asthma and cardiovascular disease. ✓
• Extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, fires, gale-force winds
✓ can result in the loss of lives, displacement of populations, destruction of
infrastructure, and disruption of essential services ✓
 11
LO Revision Booklet 2025 Grade 11 Term 2

• Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can affect agricultural

productivity✓ leading to crop failures, reduced yields, high food prices,
malnutrition.✓
• Climate change can exacerbate water scarcity in many regions through
changes in precipitation patterns ✓ which leads to competition for water
resources, conflicts over water, and reduced access to clean drinking
water for communities.✓
• The negative effects of climate change can have significant economic
consequences✓ such as damage to property and infrastructure, loss of
livelihoods, increased healthcare costs due to climate-related illnesses,
and decreased productivity.✓
• Due to the rise in sea-levels ✓communities can be forced to relocate
which can put strain on resources and infrastructure.✓
• Climate change can result in habitat loss, shifts in ecosystems and
extinction of plant and animal species ✓, which can disrupt the ecosystem
services essential for human wellbeing, such as pollination, water
purification, which leads to hazardous effects on human health. ✓
• Climate change related disasters, loss of livelihoods and uncertainty about
the future ✓ can have a profound effect on the psychological and social
wellbeing of communities, including increased anxiety levels, depression
and social unrest. ✓

1.1.3 Evaluate TWO strategies that South African citizens might contemplate
to alleviate
the impacts of climate change within the country. (2
x 4) (8)

Marks should be awarded as follows: FOUR (✓✓✓✓) marks for a well

explained response. Learners’ responses should be organized in the
following manner:
One positive statement ✓ and a qualifier✓, and one negative statement✓
and a qualifier✓

• South Africans can promote renewable energy sources ✓ by installing solar

panels which will reduce fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions ✓,
however the initial cost of installing solar panels may prohibit many citizens
of utilising this option ✓ especially those in low-income communities which
could widen the socio-economic gap in access to clean energy solutions✓.
• Citizens can implement water conservation practices ✓ such as rainwater
harvesting and efficient irrigation techniques that can help mitigate the
impacts of water scarcity ✓ caused by climate change, yet water
conservation efforts may face challenges due to inadequate infrastructure
and water management practices in some areas ✓ which may not address
the growing water stress that is worsened by climate change. ✓
• Encouraging the use of public transportation ✓ can reduce carbon
emissions from traffic congestion ✓ yet the accessibility and reliability of
 12
LO Revision Booklet 2025 Grade 11 Term 2

public transportation may be limited ✓ in some areas, which leads to

individual continuing to rely on private vehicles or means of transportation.
✓
• Educating other citizens around climate change ✓ can empower citizens to
take action and advocate for policy changes at local and national
government ✓, however disseminating accurate information and fostering
widespread engagement may be challenging ✓ due to factors such as
literacy levels, language barriers, and competing priorities. ✓

(Any other relevant definition)
(1x2)
2.2 Give three reasons why some women do not report incidents of domestic
violence
One mark for each statement or reason (✓ ✓)
Most women are dependent on men for their livelihood. If they report such incidents,
they risk losing their quality of life. So, they do not report.✓
Most women are scared to report because of family pressure. The issues are
discussed by family and the victim is given a slap on the wrist. ✓
Some do not report such incidents for the fear of embarrassment. They become
scared to report those incidents for what people may say. ✓
Some women are threatened by their perpetrators. They may indicate willingness
and preparedness to kill should they report. ✓
(Any other relevant answers)
(3x1)

2.3 Discuss how unequal power relations may lead to rape and or incest.
One mark for a statement (✓ ) and one mark for the qualifier/explanation (✓ )
*the connection between unequal power relations and rape/incest must be
clear.
Men may have an opinion that they own women because of their positions in
families. ✓Men may believe that marrying a woman takes away her dignity and a
sense of being humanness resulting in forced sex ✓
Some men are breadwinners and the poor women are at the receiving end of that
unfortunate situation. ✓ That may give men a leverage to do as they please with
women with the eventual effect that some are raped. ✓
Some men care for their stepdaughters. ✓They would do all sorts of favours that
could expose the girl child to all sorts of abuse including rape. ✓
Women would believe it is okay for man to have an upper hand in the relationship✓

women’s feelings and views are no longer important in the family ✓.
Kids from families where male chauvinism (excessive or prejudiced support of one’s
own cause, group or sex) is practiced✓get socialised ✓ and would do the same to
their families✓.
The belief that women are submissive to men-In certain cultures ✓, makes them
weak ✓ and men can take advantage of that leading to rape/ incest. ✓
Some believe standing up against men is taboo ✓and that may lead to
banishment/rape✓ that may never be reported as it is considered normal. ✓

gives them a leverage to exert power of control and undue pressure on women. ✓
 14
LO Revision Booklet 2025 Grade 11 Term 2

The assignment of unimportant roles to women by certain cultures✓ by given less

important duties✓ and that makes them subjects to men✓.

human and animal use. ✓
e.g. Water pollution✓, Air pollution✓, Noise pollution✓, Land pollution✓.
(Definition and Any 2 relevant examples)
(2+2)
3.2. Discuss the causes of the THREE main types of pollution.
One mark for each statement/fact (✓) and One mark for explaining/justification
(✓) *The learner must give a clear discussion of the causes of the three main
types of pollution as follows:
Land pollution
Pollution is caused by people producing excessive waste which is dumped
anywhere✓, this waste is non-degradable or takes time to breakdown ✓.
Unsustainable farming practices (mechanization, use of herbicides and pesticides,
deforestation) ✓ deplete and poison the soil and vegetation✓.
People spoil the land we live in by throwing garbage everywhere ✓ by disposing their
waste bins everywhere. ✓Air-pollution
It is caused by toxic waste released to the atmosphere✓, as industries release toxins
that contaminate the atmosphere.✓
Vehicles release carbon monoxide✓ which depletes the quality of oxygen that
humans inhale. ✓
The air is polluted through the burning of poisonous substances ✓ and their emission
to the atmosphere ✓.
Water pollution
They spoil our water resources by spilling dangerous substances in our waters,
rivers and dams✓; like oil spills from ship vessels could contaminate the ocean. ✓
 15
LO Revision Booklet 2025 Grade 11 Term 2

This is caused by chemicals, algae and by living organisms, usually from faeces
such as viruses, bacteria, fungi ✓, which causes sickness etc✓.
Industries often dump chemicals in rivers ✓ which are drunk by animals and human
beings.✓
3.3 Dumping is increasingly becoming a serious problem in South Africa; critically
evaluate, at least, two factors that lead to this problem.
One mark for statement/fact (✓ ) One mark for qualifier/justification (✓ ) One
mark for the outcome (✓ ) *Answers will differ. The learner must be able to give
a balanced evaluation of the factors. Consider the following and put ticks as
suggested.
Dumping/throwing of papers
Most South Africans do not care about the health of the environment as they dump
waste anywhere✓. Dumpsites are not used properly✓ as most are not fenced and
controlled. Some people do not use the dustbins and waste gets spread all over. ✓
Inefficiencies of local municipalities
Municipalities seem lacking in skills to do proper waste management in their area of
jurisdiction✓. This leads to unnecessary dumping and spoilage of the landscape ✓.
Moreover, municipalities in SA cannot control waste disposal as there is laxity and no
recourse. ✓
Industrialization
Companies produce and dump waste anywhere✓. This dumping of large quantities
of waste spoils the environment in bigger proportions. Moreover, such waste is
dangerous to the health ✓ of those staying in the precinct of the industry and causes
ill health ✓
(Any other relevant answer)
(2x3)
3.4 Suggest FOUR strategies that Local municipalities could consider to control
dumping areas in communities.
One mark for each statement/fact (✓)
Municipalities could do any of the following:
Make enforceable by-laws on dumping✓
Apprehend and prosecute perpetrators✓
Run a campaign on environmental health✓
Provide adequate refuse removal services✓
Encourage communities on recycling and reuse✓
 16

A lot of Infrastructure will be damaged.✓
There will be decline in ground water levels.✓
There will be a decline in Fish stocks.✓
(Any other relevant answer)
(4x1)

4.2 Explain how these conditions affect peoples’ health.

One mark for statement/fact (✓ ) One mark for qualifier/justification (✓ ) One
mark for the outcome (✓ ) *There has to be a connection between the condition
and peoples’ health.
If people have less access to food due to climate change✓, the likelihood is that they
would die of famine or deplete the little natural resources in a bid to survive✓ and
that affects their quality of health. ✓
Farmers could experience financial difficulties ✓ as they need to repay the loans,
they took for agricultural production✓. If there are no crops to trade with, their
finances will be affected and they may develop various emotional problems. ✓
Climate change may change the quality of arable (agricultural) land ✓leading to huge
loss in agricultural production. ✓If that happens, farmers and those who depend on it
may experience serious financial and emotional challenges.✓
As a result of climate change, farmers may experience huge pests break outbreak✓
that may need more money to control✓ and this may lead to huge financial losses
which could affect farmers in a number of ways.✓
Climate change may affect food production and crops ✓ ‘turnover may suffer
✓leading to losses in income with resultant effect that farmers may be affected in
various ways✓
 17
LO Revision Booklet 2025 Grade 11 Term 2

Turbulent weather changes have a potential to affect infrastructure✓ that may

refocus spending priorities and that could affect the provision of basic services to
poor citizens of a country✓ leading to the development of many psychosocial
challenges. Infrastructure gets damaged✓
The ever changing weather patterns✓ as a result of climate change has a potential
to affect the quality of groundwater leading to rise in sea levels✓ and that has a
potential to affect many people who can’t cushion themselves form the effects of
that.✓Climate change changes people’s choice of food in that convenient ✓ and
devastating food production tendencies are adopted to survive, ✓ which may result
in the decline of fish stocks and the consumption of poor quality foods.✓
When food prices rise ✓ as a result of depleted food stocks people tend to each
cheaper food ✓ and that has a potential to affect their lives. ✓
(Any other relevant answer)
(2x3)

4.3 Explain how farming land can be lost due to climate change.
One mark for each statement/fact (✓) and one mark for qualifier/justification
(✓) *There should be a connection between farming land and climate change.
When climate change results in floods, arable land rich with needed agricultural
nutrients are washed away, ✓ leading to the scarcity of food in the market✓
When there is no rain due to climate change, the land could be too dry for
agricultural purposes ✓ If that happens, agricultural yields are affected and there
would be less food in the market. ✓
Continued drought may deplete the ground water levels✓ making it difficult for
farmers to access this valuable resource even through boreholes. ✓
The soil becomes too dry and salty for forming ✓ and crops could not be produced
as required. ✓(Any other relevant answer)
(2X2)
4.4. Illustrate in THREE ways how these conditions affect peoples’ way of living.
One mark for each statement/fact ( ✓) One mark for qualifier/justification (✓ )
If less food is produced, prices will go up✓ and people will need to pay more for their
basic food stocks. ✓
If the quality of the ploughing land is affected, ✓ people will buy even things they
would normally produce. ✓
If ploughing is done on affected land✓, the yields will be affected leading to
wastages.✓
The infrastructure that could be affected by turbulent weather patterns✓ could cost a
lot to repair. ✓Too much rain will cause floods ✓ that will result in loss of lives and

property. ✓(Any other relevant answer)

(3X2)
4.5 Suggests THREE practical strategies which the citizens can contribute to reduce
Climate change.
One mark for each statement/fact (✓)
Drive efficiently – go easy on the gas and breaks, along with using cruise control and
regularly servicing your car to make sure that it’s running more efficiently. ✓
Check your tires – low tire pressure can negatively affect your gas mileage.✓Swap
out a few meat-heavy meals for vegetarian or vegan recipes to help significantly
reduce your environmental impact✓
Take stock of your fridge regularly. Create a grocery list beforehand and stick to it
while shopping so you don’t overbuy or purchase things you don’t need. ✓
Be wary of bulk. It may seem like a good deal, but you may not end up eating it all
before it goes bad. ✓
Plan out your meals. Don’t cook more than you can eat and adapt recipes to your
needs.✓
Get creative and reuse leftovers instead of tossing them. ✓
Freeze your food if you are not using them soon. This extends the life of your food✓
Take home oversized restaurant services but try to only use environmentally friendly
dishes and dinnerware. ✓Keep the temperature stable in your home. Turn down the
heat, use a programmable or smart thermostat if you can, and keep blinds closed. ✓
Remember what your parents told you: turn off lights and appliances when you are
not using them. Unplug if possible, to reduce even more energy. ✓
Stream movies through a smart TV, not your game console. Game counsels use
about 10 times more electricity since they are not optimized to play films. ✓
Use a laptop. Desktops use a lot more and use a constant source of electricity. ✓
Replace lights with LED lights since they use up to 85% less energy and last up to
25% longer. ✓
