This memorandum is merely a guideline. Any reasonable alternative should
be accepted.

(TEXTS A AND B)
1.1. Famous political prisoners/freedom fighters.V
Ordinary black people/people whose only crime was being black. ¥
(Award only 1 mark for Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi) (2)
1.2 1.2.1 The jail was well known ¥ for the injustices V associated with the
Apartheid regime./It was a brutal prison, and two of the most famous
freedom fighters had walked through its doors. (Don't award a mark
for mere lifting from the glossary.) (2)
1.2.2 The writer feels negative/that it was wrong that the prison maltreated
the inmates/that racist practices took place. V (1)
1.3 The word 'trapped' suggests that the stories of the injustices done at the
prison are indelibly part of the building./The stories about the maltreatment
were never told because of an oppressive regime. VV (2)
‘finally’ suggests a feeling of relief that the regime of Apartheid is finally
- over and that the stories can be told. VV (2)
1.4 It is ironic that the very place V which represented oppression and
injustice V is now a place V where the Constitutional rights of every South
African is celebrated//ensured.V (4)
1.5 People all over the world know about South Africa's infamous past./
Apartheid is a very real part of South Africa's history./South Africa's
constitution is world-renowned ¥ Therefore tourists — both South African
and foreign, would be inquisitive to learn more about it at the site of
Constitution Hill. ¥ (2)

is over. V (2)
1.9 Tounsung heroes/freedom fighters V and survival/transition/nope/changev (2)
1.10 The fact that one can actually take a tour of Constitution Hill and witness
all the aspects envisioned in TEXT 1, is proof that the plan has been
successfully accomplished. (Learners might mention specific aspects
envisioned in text one which one can now witness in a tour of Constitution
Hill. For two marks there should be a reference to both texts, though.) (2)
1.11 'nowhere' suggests that Constitution Hill is the ultimate experience \ ifone
wants to learn more about South Africa's past and present. The emotive
words 'turbulent' and ‘extraordinary’ both suggest the emotions which most
South Africans associate with our infamous past and the transition into a
new dispensation. (Learners should mention the emotive words plus an
explanation for full marks.) VV (3)
