1.4    Refer to the infographic below about berg winds in South Africa.

       East London residents were subject to sweltering heat last Saturday after a
       record-breaking heatwave resulted in a peak temperature of 43,9 ºC.
       According to the South African Weather Service (SAWS), the heatwave was
       a result of berg wind conditions, when hot dry winds blow towards the coast
       from the country’s high central plateau.
       “As the air descends it gets warmer and by the time it gets to the coast it is
       extremely hot.”, SAWS spokesperson in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth)
       Garth Sampson told the Daily Dispatch on Monday.
       According to statistics released by SAWS, East London’s temperature on
       Saturday was the second highest in the entire Eastern Cape on the day,
       below Kenton-on-Sea 44,2 ºC and above the 42,6 ºC recorded in Gqeberha.

       1.4.2     Why does air get warmer as it descends towards the coastal

3.3    Refer to the extract below on land.

                         LAND REFORM: PLAN FOR GROWTH

       Redistribution of farmland is a key catalyst for agricultural transformation and
       growth in South Africa.

       But what reforms and interventions are necessary to accomplish this?
       The outcome for land reform from a social justice point of view and for a
       more equitable distribution of productive farmland presents an important
       growth opportunity if carried out appropriately.

       Increased private sector participation in land redistribution, supported by
       enabling policies, incentives and monitoring mechanisms of the state, is a
       critical way to boost agricultural growth.

       If done together with a series of interventions, it is likely that the real
       agricultural gross value added could increase substantially by 2030. It is
       clear that the provision of land alone (through land reform) is unlikely to
       achieve the growth anticipated.

       To improve agricultural growth, the land reform process should be carried
       out by a central agency and, once the land is redistributed, financial and
       technical support as well as offtake agreements or contracts should be
       provided to beneficiaries.

 QUESTION 4: GEOGRAPHICAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

             BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON HARTBEESPOORT DAM

 Co-ordinates: 25°43′32″S 27°50′54″E

 Hartbeespoort Dam (also known as Harties) is an arch type dam situated in
 the North West Province of South Africa. It lies in a valley to the south of
 the Magaliesberg mountain range and north of the Witwatersberg Mountain Range,
 about 35 kilometres north west of Johannesburg and 20 kilometres west of Pretoria.
 The name of the dam means "dam at the gorge of the hartebeest". Mismanagement
 of wastewater treatment from urban zones within the Hartbeespoort Dam catchment
 area is largely to blame for the poor condition of the water.
