MARKING • ALL questions MUST be marked, irrespective of whether it is correct or incorrect. • Where the maximum marks have been allocated for a particular question, place an M over the remainder of the text to indicate the maximum marks have been achieved. • A clear, neat tick must be used: √ o If ONE mark is allocated, ONE tick must be used: √ o If TWO marks are allocated, TWO ticks must be used: √√ o The tick must be placed at the FACT for which the mark is being allocated. o Ticks must be kept SMALL, as various layers of moderation may take place. • Incorrect answers must be marked with a clear, neat cross: X o Use MORE than one cross (x) across paragraph/discussion style questions to indicate that all facts have been considered. o Do NOT draw a line through an incorrect answer. o Do NOT underline the incorrect facts. NOTE THE FOLLOWING • If the numbering is incorrect or left out, as long as the sequence of answers to questions is followed, candidates can be credited. • Spelling errors – if the answer is recognisable, award the marks, provided the meaning is correct. • Be sensitive to the context of an answer, which may be stated in a different way. • In questions where a letter is the accepted response, but the learner writes the actual answer – award the marks. TOTALLING AND TRANSFERRING OF MARKS • Each sub-question must be totalled. o Questions in Section A have five sub-sections, therefore five sub-totals per question is required. Section B has three sub-sections and three sub-totals. o Sub-section totals to be written in the right-hand margin at the end of the sub-section and underlined. o Sub-totals must be written legibly. o Leave space to write down moderated marks on different levels. • Add sub-totals and transfer the total to the top left-hand margin next to question number. • Transfer the total to the cover of the answer book. MODERATION Marking on each level of moderation is done in the same way as the initial marking. All guidelines for marking must be adhered to. If a mark for a sub-question is changed after moderation, the moderator must strike off the marker's mark and write down the new mark as follows, 12 16. The total for the question must be recalculated, and similarly be struck off, and the new total to be written down as follows, 26 36. 2 ### Page 3 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 SECTION A: RURAL AND URBAN SETTLEMENTS AND THE ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY OF SOUTH AFRICA QUESTION 1: RURAL AND URBAN SETTLEMENTS 1.1 Various options are provided as a possible answer to the following questions.

The decline in the number of people living in a rural area. (2) [CONCEPT] (1 x 2) (2) 1.3.2 Give evidence from the population graph that rural depopulation is a reality in South Africa. The graph shows a decline in population from 2017 (19 480 000) to 2020 (19 320 000). (1) (1 x 1) (1) 5 ### Page 6 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.3.3 Describe the impact of rural depopulation on the economy of rural areas. Closing of schools, clinics and services (e.g. farms close down) means people will lose their jobs. (2) There will be reduced wealth in rural areas therefore no buying power. (2) Demand for rural services will be reduced – there will be people without jobs and without an income. (2) Shops will close down as the buying market will be much smaller. (2) Towns will become ghost towns because there will be fewer economic activities to support the maintenance of the infrastructure. (2) Fewer job opportunities therefore less income. (2) [Any TWO - Examples can be linked] (2 x 2) (4) 1.3.4 In a paragraph of approximately EIGHT lines, make suggestions to the local government on how to reduce the trend of rural depopulation, and the impact of it on the rural economy as indicated in the infographic. Advertise rural areas to attract people back to the area for more buying power. (2) Create recreational attractions in rural areas to attract people to these areas/keep people in the area. (2) Develop the rural areas into tourist attractions to give those areas an economic injection. (2) Restore old buildings into tourist attractions or hotels to attract people to the area. (2) Develop services (accept examples of services) to attract the youth back to the rural areas. (2) Decentralisation of industries to rural areas to create jobs. (2) Move industries to rural areas to attract more workers to rural areas. (2) SDI will result in local government investing in spatial development in the area (2) Infrastructure development to attract investment in the area (2) [Any FOUR] (4 x 2) (8) (15) 6 ### Page 7 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.4 Refer to the case study on the growth of South African urban settlements. THE GROWTH OF SOUTH AFRICAN URBAN SETTLEMENTS In 1990, 52% of South Africans lived in urban settlements, but a mere 30 years later, more than 67% of South Africa’s population live in cities and towns. The population density within the nation has risen, reaching 46 inhabitants per square kilometre, meaning more people are sharing less space. Many opportunities for work and leisure can be found in the urban locations of South Africa. In theory, urban settlements create conditions for improved health, education and economic activity because services are concentrated over a small area. In practice, however, rapid urbanisation degrades environmental and health conditions, places massive strain on provision of services and fuels crime and social tension. Gauteng has the biggest and fastest growing population of all nine provinces in South Africa. The province experienced a population increase of 33,7% between 2010 and 2020, which is more than double the average national population increase. [Source: Adapted from Oxford South African Thematic Atlas for grades 7-9] 1.4.1 Define the term urbanisation. An increase in the percentage or proportion of people living in urban areas. (2) [CONCEPT] (1 x 2) (2) 1.4.2 Give ONE factor from the case study which indicates why people prefer to live in urban areas. Many opportunities for work and leisure (1) Improved health (1) Improved education (1) Economic activities (1) Services concentrated in a small area (1) [Any ONE] (1 x 1) (1) 7 ### Page 8 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.4.3 According to the case study, “rapid urbanisation degrades environmental and health conditions,”. Describe how rapid urbanisation results in the degradation of environmental and health conditions. Environment: More people and activities in the urban areas will result in more environmental problems, e.g., pollution. (2) Higher population density will result in exhaustion of natural resources. (2) More infrastructure development e.g., roads, houses will result in destruction of the natural environment. (2) More people will result in an increase in temperature (Urban Heat Island/pollution dome/smog) further resulting in an alteration to the natural environment (2) Health: More people will result in an increase in pollution which will have a negative effect on the health of people (2) Higher population density results in more stress-related/heart conditions/anxiety. (2) High population density will result in the rapid spread of diseases e.g., COVID-19. (2) High population density will place pressure on health services which will result in deteriorating health conditions of the population. (2) [ONE must be on the environment, and ONE must be on health conditions] [Any TWO] (2 x 2) (4) 1.4.4 Explain why the case study refers to Gauteng as the province with the biggest and fastest-growing population in South Africa. Gauteng is located centrally which means that it is very accessible (via road, air, rail). (2) Gauteng has a high concentration of industries. (2) Gauteng has a well-developed infrastructure. (2) Gauteng is the economic hub of the country. (2) Many opportunities for work and leisure can be found in Gauteng. (2) (Any ONE) (1 x 2) (2) 8 ### Page 9 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.4.5 Evaluate the effect of urbanisation on the provision of services in Gauteng. More people will reduce safe, readily available, water supplies. (2) High water demand results in poor provision of water for sanitation, drainage and solid waste collection. (2) High demand on services will place a budgetary strain on municipalities (2) High electricity demand will put strain on the delivery of electricity because of the increasing percentage of people in urban areas. (2) Higher population requires more clinics to be built to supply medical services to a higher population in urban areas. (2) More people in urban areas means more people that are littering which in turn means more needs to be spent on the removal of garbage. (2) Pressure on already stressed public transport systems – people make use of e-hailers (Uber/Bolt) – more pressure on commuters’ pockets. (2) Higher demand on educational services (2) [Any THREE] (3 x 2) (6) [Accept other urban services] (15) 9 ### Page 10 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.5 Refer to the following infographic on poverty in South Africa. Degree of poverty in South Africa per province Poverty is easy to see but less easy to define – or to measure across a city, a province or a 44,1% country. Many measures of poverty are based on money. If a person lives on less than a certain threshold of income, they are considered to be living in poverty.

Gauteng (1) (1 x 1) (1) (b) Account for the higher poverty rate in the province identified in QUESTION 1.5.1 (a). Huge influx of people from other provinces or countries increases the competition for jobs. (2) Lower remuneration because of large pool of labourers. (2) Unemployment because of large number of immigrants that are willing to work for lower pay. (2) Unemployment because of lack of skills and qualifications (2) [Any ONE] (1 x 2) (2) 1.5.2 Give TWO examples which indicate that the people in the photo image of the infographic are living in poverty. Poor building structures (1) Children are in the streets and not at school/lack of education (1) People doing tasks themselves because they cannot afford a professional to do the job/manual labour evident (1) Poor infrastructure (e.g. housing, roads) (1) [Any TWO] (2 x 1) (2) 1.5.3 Explain how unemployment contributes to poverty in urban areas. People without an income cannot afford to pay bonds/rent and thus resort to informal settlements. (2) People without an income cannot feed themselves and results in more beggars. (2) High poverty rate because of unemployment puts more strain on the government in the issuing of social grants/more grants will have to be paid. (2) Greater strain on taxpayers to subsidise grants. (2) Increase in the number of homeless people as they do not have an income to afford proper houses. (2) Unemployment will result in the increase of crime in urban areas. (2) Municipalities spend money on feeding the poor instead of spending money on the improvement of infrastructure, etc. (2) [Any TWO] (2 x 2) (4) 11 ### Page 12 Downloaded from hlayiso.com 10782/22 1.5.4 Suggest ways how the local government responsible for the area in the image above, can decrease poverty. Assist the inhabitants in job creation, e.g. entrepreneurial programmes. (2) Focus on projects which can generate sustainable income in the community. (2) Distribution of food, clothing and basic necessities to the people living in the informal settlement. (2) Supply the inhabitants with cheaper services like electricity and water. (2) Provide successful mentorship programmes, life skills courses and career plotting projects to the inhabitants of the area. (2) Develop women to run outreach programmes in the area. (2) Invest money in skills development so that people can have an opportunity to get a decent job to earn a proper income. (2) Increase grants to be more inflation related. (2) Provide training opportunities to inhabitants to specialise in specific jobs so that they can get a job to earn an income. (2) Partner with successful businesses outside the area to bring opportunities into the area for people to earn an income.

In a paragraph of approximately EIGHT lines, analyse the economic impact that a taxi strike in this core industrial region will have on the GDP of the country. It will have a significant impact on people getting to and from work – if they cannot get to work, they lose income. (2) The taxi industry will lose money and they contribute a large amount to the GDP of the country. (2) If people cannot reach their workplaces, less trade will take place therefore the GDP will decline. (2) If people cannot go to work, factories will come to a standstill therefore no productivity. This will mean no income and the GDP will decline. (2) The contribution of Gauteng to the GDP will decline because people will not have transport to get to work. (2) If the workers do not go to work, they will not get paid and will have less money to spend on goods and services. (2) The multiplier effect will be affected because people will not go to work, they will not have money to spend in the shops, which means that fewer shop workers are needed. (2) Other industries that rely on workers using taxis will have a decline in production which means a decline in income for the day.

Cape Talk Show, host Refiwe Moloto chats to Zanele Khomo from the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry about the looting in KZN. The Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry has warned that the civil unrest and public violence in KwaZulu-Natal will most likely lead to job losses and food shortages in the country. "KZN specifically contributes to 16% of South Africa's GDP, so such damage is detrimental to our economy", says Zanele Khomo, the Chief Growth Officer of the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Khomo says the looting and destruction will result in food insecurity and loss of livelihoods as many factories and food producers shut down. According to the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the cost of the damage in the province had already exceeded R100 million on Monday and it's expected to keep rising in the days and weeks to come. Khomo says officials from the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry met with KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala on Monday to provide an assessment of the situation.

Food shortage (1) (1 x 1) (1) 2.5.3 Describe how the unrest might have led to food insecurity. The rioting and looting, especially in KZN, affected farm production as there were no workers. (2) The rioting and looting hampered critical activities such as harvesting. (2) Some products could not be harvested as a result of riot-related vandalism. (2) Farmers failed to transport produce to the Durban ports for export. (2) Deliveries to the market were not possible. (2) Many workers in the agricultural sector in KZN were not able to report for work during the rioting. (2) Distribution centres were not accessible, for the farming community to deliver their produce. (2) Distribution centres were not able to deliver food to their clients to sell. (2) Rioting and looting resulted in income losses of highly perishable products. (2) [Any ONE] (1 x 2) (2) 2.5.4 Discuss the relationship between unemployment and food insecurity. Unemployed people are less able to buy enough healthy food to feed themselves. (2) When unemployment increases, food insecurity becomes a more serious problem. (2) Hunger and poor nutrition can result in physical and mental weaknesses which will result in absenteeism from work.
