TEXT A PLACE OF GOLD? 1. ‘Kwanyam’ayipheli kuphel’izinyo lendoda’ (Where meat never runs out, but a man’s teeth do). Mention Joburg and the first thing that springs to mind is that it is the hub of the African economy. 2. Many people flock to the city to try and make ends meet. The 2011 Census results indicated that Gauteng’s population grew by 31 percent to 12,8 million people in 2011, up from 9,4 million people a decade ago. In 2013, thousands will flock to the ‘City of Gold’ in their numbers to seek greener pastures. Over the past year alone, research has shown that many people are packing their bags and moving to Johannesburg to escape their poor rural communities, in the hope of landing jobs. 3. According to the authorities migration from rural areas is a worrying phenomenon as the cities can’t sustain so many people. It has also been found out that very few people who come to Joburg with expectations of a better life find jobs. 4. Bula Music marketing manager Sipho Dlamini says that people come to their offices with ambitions of making it big in the music industry. ‘People come as far as Kwazulu-Natal, Limpopo and the Eastern Cape to try and make it in music.’ They need to understand that this won’t be the case for all of them. Luckily, many recording companies have opened offices in other provinces, says Sipho. 5. He adds that the worst part is that people come to Joburg without making prior arrangements for accommodation and food. ‘If you go to Park Station, you are bound to find someone begging for food telling you that they came here without any cash. We honestly need to educate people about the dangers of this because many of them will end up becoming victims of crime. They fail to understand that fame comes through years of perseverance.’ 6. Kwazulu-Natal gospel artist Thinah Zungu, who recently won Best Male Gospel Artist at the Crown Gospel Awards, says he knows first-hand how tough it is to make it in Johannesburg. Thinah says that when he first arrived in the city he taught it would be smooth sailing. He says when he got to Joburg it was not a walk in the park. ‘Many doors were shut in my face and I had to go for days without food,’ Thinah says. 7. Thinah’s advice to people is as follows: ‘Nothing ever comes easy in this city. If you come here thinking that all is going to happen in the blink of an eye, you had better think again. You have to educate yourself first, getting the necessary qualification, following your passion for the entertainment industry later.’

The SABC building in Johannesburg’s Auckland Park is frequented by people desperate to make it in the entertainment industry. An SABC radio DJ says most people come to the SABC without making prior arrangements to see someone. When you ask them if they’ve come for auditions they tell you that they just want to be actors or TV presenter. 9. I always make them aware that there is more to being on TV or radio than just turning up.’ ‘Education is vital and there are a number of other careers that they can follow besides one in the media industry,’ says the DJ.

Chances are it’s a tiny percentage. The idea behind collaborative consumption is that the idle stuff can be used by someone who needs it. Scores of websites around the globe can now help you borrow or rent a power tool from someone in your neighbourhood (Snapgoods), swap books (ReaditSwapit) or even find unused land on which you can grow veggies (Landshare). Sharing and renting more means producing and wasting less.

TEXT C SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT 1. Poor dental hygiene could affect not just your smile, but also your overall health, writes Glynis Horning. Recent studies suggest that oral bacteria may contribute to heart disease including the inflammation of the inner lining of the heart as well as clogged arteries and could lead to a stroke. 2. Experts agree that there are a number of things that we can do to keep our teeth in health. One of the things to do is to brush teeth for two minutes at least twice a day, and replace your toothbrush every three months. 3. The time before you sleep is a time when your mouth can become dry, encouraging increased bacterial activity around the mouth, so you need to floss every day, preferably before sleeping. Doctor Stott explains that one needs to eat a healthy diet which is high in calcium to maintain healthy teeth and gums. 4. Another way of getting your smile back is to rinse your mouth regularly with water after having acidic and sweet foods and drinks. Sweet foods and drinks including fresh fruits and juice can erode the enamel of the teeth. 5. Having dental check-ups every six months is another way of lowering gum diseases that may lead to heart conditions. One last thing to do is not to smoke. This is one of the biggest causes of gum disease, tooth loss, mouth sores and oral cancer. Stub it out! [Adapted from Clicks’ Club Magazine, Issue 5, 2012] TOTAL SECTION B: 10

A Japanese-led team of scientists have captured on film the world’s first live images of a giant squid, while journeying to the depths of the ocean in search of the mysterious creature thought to have inspired the myth of the ‘kraken’, a tentacle monster. ‘This squid is believed to be the sea-monster, the kraken, that sinks ships off Norway’, said Kubodera who is a zoologist and the leader of the team. 2. The images of the silvery, three meter long squid, looming out of the darkness nearly a kilometre below the surface, were taken last July near the Ogasawara islands, south of Tokyo. Though the beast was small by giant squid standards – the largest ever caught stretched 18, meters long – filming it secretly in its natural habitat was a step towards understanding the animal. 3. ‘Many people have tried to capture an image of a giant squid alive in its natural habitat, but they have all failed. These are the first ever images of a real live images of a giants quid,’ said Kubodera excitedly. The key to (there/ their) success, said Kubodera was a small submersible with lights invisible even to both the human and the squid’s eyes.

Kubodera, a cameraman and the submersible’s pilot drifted silently down to 630 meters and realised a one meter long squid as bait. In all they descended around 100 times. ‘If you try and approach making a lot of noise using a bright white light the squid won’t come anywhere near you’, said the leader. 5. ‘I’ve seen a lot of squid specimens in my time, but mainly those hauled out of the ocean. This was the first time for me to see with my own eyes a giant squid swimming. It was stunning; I couldn’t have dreamt that it would be so beautiful. It was such a wonderful creature.’ 6. ‘A giant squid essentially lives a solitary existence, swimming about all alone in the deep sea. It doesn’t live in a group. So when I saw it well, it looked to me it was rather lonely.’ [Adapted from Daily Dispatch, January 2013] 5.1 Correct the single error in each of the following sentences.
