TEXT A GEAR UP FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES 1 Globally, there are about 10 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads  but only 1 509 of them are in South Africa. The South African national target is to have three million electric cars by 2050. According to a recent study, China tops the list of countries with the most registered electric vehicles with more than four million of these cars on its roads. It is followed by the United States, Germany, 5 the United Kingdom and Norway. 2 Currently, South Africa's 11 million cars fill up at 5 000 petrol stations. Cars are responsible for 10% of the country's carbon emissions and toxic pollutants released in densely populated cities. These emissions and pollutants contribute to air pollution and global warming. 10 3 Local experts believe that South Africa needs to speed up its move into the electric vehicle industry. This move will benefit the economy, motorists and the environment. With the fuel price constantly rising, the demand for electric cars might very well increase dramatically. 4 The Department of Trade and Industry has drawn up the Strategy for Policy 15 Direction Promoting Green Transport Technologies in South Africa, better known as the green transport strategy. This strategy gives a step-by-step path for the country to follow to get to its target of three million environmentally friendly electric vehicles. 5 The country's vision on climate change says there will be more than three million 20 electric vehicles on the road by 2050, with R6,5 trillion invested in the industry over the next four decades. These two numbers form the basis of the green transport strategy. According to the Department of Trade and Industry, going the electric route will create a huge local industry. Instead of importing fossil fuels 1, power for cars will come from solar panels and wind turbines 2. The power will be 25 stored in platinum batteries. South Africa has far more platinum than any other country. The demand for platinum will create a mining and manufacturing industry, which will supply more factories that will build electric vehicles. 6 uYilo, an e-mobility programme, was established in 2013 to facilitate electric- vehicle development in South Africa. The name, uYilo, is taken from IsiXhosa, 30 which means 'to create'. The director of this programme, Hiten Parmar, said the government and industry have been having discussions about electric vehicles for quite some time. Copyright reserved Please turn over

They also do not pay the taxes levied on normal 35 vehicles for causing air pollution. However, the choice of these vehicles is limited, with only a few models available. The BMW i3, Jaguar I-Pace and the Nissan Leaf top the list. The limited options and the lack of competition contribute to the high price of EVs. With such few buyers of EVs, nobody in the business sector is willing to invest in charging stations. The country only has 40 about 170 electric vehicle charging stations. 8 Since there is limited interest from the business sector to invest in charging stations for EVs, the South African government has set aside an investment of R6,5 trillion. Taken from places such as the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment's Green Fund, this investment will go into improving battery 45 technology so vehicles can go further on a single charge. This will make the building of the electric-vehicle infrastructure more lucrative for the private sector. Eighteen projects have been rolled out already, dedicated to working out the practicalities of electric vehicles. Another twelve projects are working on other green transport technologies, such as upgrading minibus taxis so they also run 50 on natural gas. 9 Toyota is investing millions of rands in electric vehicles globally. The president of Toyota South Motors, Andrew Kirby, believes it will be a while before electric vehicles become commonplace in South Africa. He recommends that the South African government needs to give incentives to encourage the adoption of 55 new energy vehicles as well as make the cost attractive to the local market. 10 Worldwide, the sale of electric vehicles is trending upward. It is estimated that about 50% of new cars sold by 2030 will be electric. The popularity of electric cars will rise as prices come down. Technology is improving as countries invest in battery development. Soon, a plug-in vehicle might be a cheaper and more 60 environmentally friendly option to a fuel-powered car. South Africans should soon be moving in cars that do not harm their health and the environment.

Indicate the total number of words you have used in brackets at the end of your summary. TEXT C FOOD WASTAGE Food waste is a serious problem and affects us all. It is estimated that a third of all food is never eaten and ends up in rubbish dumps. One of the easiest ways to reduce food wastage is by planning your meals ahead of time. Before heading to the supermarket, check what is in the fridge and the grocery cupboard. After you have checked what you already have, make a list of what is needed for your planned meals. Sticking to this list is important as it will help you avoid buying unnecessary items. Fruit and vegetables that are slightly damaged still taste the same. Do not simply throw them away but use them in drinks and dishes where their appearance does not matter. Even though buying in bulk saves money, it does not serve its purpose if the bulk ` groceries go to waste. Ensure that the groceries you buy in bulk are versatile and can be used in more than one meal. You can avoid wasting food by using the items in your fridge according to their expiry dates. If you do not eat everything you make, freeze it for later. Apart from preserving it to prevent wastage, some people believe that left-over food tastes better. You can also reuse leftovers in another totally different meal. A left-over pasta salad can easily be turned into a pasta and cheese baked dish. You can avoid wastage by making these changes to how you deal with food. [Adapted from Clockwork Media, 2022] TOTAL SECTION B: 10 Copyright reserved Please turn over
