4.5   “It’s going to get ugly here, so we, as South Africans, need to have a much
      better understanding of our country’s electricity system, Eskom. We can look
      at our consumption patterns and pricing, the cost of load-shedding and how we
      can escape from the precarious situation we find ourselves in these days.”
      – Dirk de Vos.

      Study FIGURE 4.5, SOUTH AFRICA’S ENERGY PREDICAMENT.

      4.5.1    Define the term load-shedding in terms of electricity.           (1x1)     (1)

      4.5.2    Why has South Africa implemented load-shedding?                  (1x2)     (2)

      4.5.3    (a)    Which category, according to FIGURE 4.5 uses the highest
                      percentage of electricity?                         (1x1)            (1)

               (b)    Give a reason evident in FIGURE 4.3 for your answer to
                      QUESTION 4.5.3 (a).                              (1x2)              (2)

      4.5.4    What percentage of electricity is used by the primary sector in South
               Africa?                                                           (1x2)    (2)

      4.5.5    In a paragraph of approximately EIGHT lines explain how South
               Africa’s economy will be influenced by load-shedding and discuss
               possible initiatives that the economic sectors can implement to reduce
               the electricity demand.                                           (4x2)    (8)

4.6   The eThekwini (Durban-Pinetown) core industrial region produces
      approximately 13% of all manufactured goods in South Africa, and is the
      second most important industrial region in South Africa. Study FIGURE 4.6, a
      map of the eThekwini (Durban-Pinetown) Industrial Area.

      4.6.1    Define the concept industrial region.                            (1x1)     (1)

               industrial region.                                            (3x1)        (3)

      4.6.3    Many of the industries which developed in this region are bridge
               industries. Provide TWO reasons why the Toyota assembly plant can
               be seen as a bridge industry.                                    (2x2)     (4)

      4.6.4    Evaluate the positive impact of manufacturing Toyota vehicles in this
               industrial region as opposed to importing these vehicles.       (3x2)      (6)
                                                                                          [75]
