NSC – Marking Guidelines
1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS
1.1 The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
questions:
COGNITIVE WEIGHTING OF
HISTORICAL SKILLS
LEVELS QUESTIONS
Extract evidence from sources
LEVEL 1 Selection and organisation of relevant 30%
information from sources (15)
Define historical concepts/terms
Interpretation of evidence from sources
LEVEL 2 40%
Explain information gathered from sources
(20)
Analyse evidence from sources
Interpret and evaluate evidence from sources
Engage with sources to determine its
LEVEL 3 usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations 30%
Compare and contrast interpretations and (15)
perspectives presented in sources and draw
independent conclusions
1.2 The information below indicates how source-based questions are
assessed:
In the marking of source-based questions, credit needs to be given to any
other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or examples.
In the allocation of marks, emphasis should be placed on how the
requirements of the question have been addressed.
In the marking guideline, the requirements of the question (skills that need to
be addressed) as well as the level of the question are indicated in italics.
When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should be
credited for any other relevant answers.
Learners are expected to take a stance when answering ‘to what extent’
questions in order for any marks to be awarded.
1.3 Assessment procedures for source-based questions
Use a tick () for each correct answer
Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 x 2) which translates to two reasons
and is given two marks each (); (1 x 2) which translates to one reason
and is given two marks ()
If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks ()
Paragraph question
Paragraphs are to be assessed globally (holistically). Both the content and
structure of the paragraph must be taken into account when awarding a mark. The
following steps must be used when assessing a response to a paragraph question:
Read the paragraph and place a bullet () at each point within the text where
the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the question.
Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has
been able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.

History/P1 3 DBE/Feb.–Mar. 2018
NSC – Marking Guidelines
At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks () that the candidate were
awarded for the paragraph as well as the level (1, 2 or 3), as indicated in the
holistic rubric and a brief comment, e.g.
___________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________
Level 2
Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph.
Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark in the
bottom right-hand margin, e.g. 32
50
Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back cover of
the answer script.
2. ESSAY QUESTIONS
2.1 The essay questions require candidates to:
Be able to structure their argument in a logical and coherent manner. They
need to select, organise and connect the relevant information so that they are
able to present a reasonable sequence of facts or an effective argument to
answer the question posed. It is essential that an essay has an introduction, a
coherent and balanced body of evidence and a conclusion.
2.2 Marking of essay questions
Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by the
textbooks in use at the particular centre.
Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion than
those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific essay.
2.3 Global assessment of the essay
The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
teacher to assess the essay as a whole, rather than assessing the main points of
the essay separately. This approach encourages the learner to write an original
argument by using relevant evidence to support the line of argument. The learner
will NOT be required to simply regurgitate content (facts) in order to achieve a level
7 (high mark). This approach discourages learners from preparing essays and
reproducing them without taking the specific requirements of the question into
account. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners' opinions that are supported
by evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not penalise
language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:
The learner's interpretation of the question
The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection)
The construction of argument (planned, structured and has independent line of
argument)

NSC – Marking Guidelines
2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay
2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.
2.4.2 During the first reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant
introduction (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline), the
main aspects/body of the essay that sustains/defends the line of argument
(which is indicated by bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant
conclusion (which is indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline).
For example in an essay where there are five (5) main points there could be
about seven (7) ticks.
2.4.3 Keep the PEEL structure in mind when assessing an essay.
P Point: The candidate introduces the essay by taking a line of
argument/making a major point.
Each paragraph should include a point that sustains the major point
(line of argument) that was made in the introduction.
E Explanation: The candidate should explain in more detail what the
main point is all about and how it relates to the question posed (line of
argument)
E Example: The candidates should answer the question by selecting
content that is relevant to the line of argument. Relevant examples
should be given to sustain the line of argument.
L Link: Candidates should ensure that the line of argument is sustained
throughout the essay and is written coherently.
2.4.4 The following symbols MUST be used when assessing an essay:
• Introduction, main aspects and conclusion not properly contextualised
^
• Wrong statement _________________
• Irrelevant statement |
|

• Repetition R
• Analysis A√
• Interpretation 1√
• Line of argument LOA

2.5. The matrix
2.5.1 Use of the matrix in the marking of essays
In the marking of essays, the criteria as provided in the matrix should be used.
When assessing the essay note both the content and presentation. At the point of
intersection of the content and presentation based on the seven competency
levels, a mark should be awarded.
(a) The first reading of the essay will be to determine to what extent the
main aspects have been covered and to allocate the content level (on
the matrix).
C LEVEL 4
(b) The second reading of the essay will relate to the level (on the matrix)
of presentation.
C LEVEL 4
P LEVEL 3
(c) Allocate an overall mark with the use of the matrix.

The Alvor Agreement ensured that the Portuguese troops stayed in Angola until
February 1976 to assist with the transfer of power from Portugal to Angolan
interim government

31 January 1975
Any other relevant response (any 2 x 2) (4)

2.3
2.3.1 [Interpretation of evidence from Source 2C – L2]
Politically, the independence of Angola marked the end of Portuguese colonial
rule in Africa
Politically, it implied that colonial rule could end in all African countries; Angola
would now be a potential base that could be used for the struggle against
colonialism
Emotionally, it gave hope to people in southern Africa that were still living under
colonial rule
Emotionally, it was an inspiration to liberation movements such as the ANC and
SWAPO that were still fighting for freedom
Any other relevant response (any 2 x 2) (4)
2.3.2 [Extraction of evidence from Source 2C – L1]

The USA funded one of the liberation groups (FNLA) which was a rival of the
MPLA
The USA increased its support to UNITA, another liberation group and a rival of
MPLA
By funding the main rival groups against the MPLA, the USA increased the
potential for civil war between the three rival liberation parties
US funding and support allowed UNITA to continue to challenge the MPLA (e.g.
ambush and assassinations)
By supporting the FNLA and UNITA over the MPLA, the USA undermined the
power-sharing and transitional government that was put in place by the Alvor
Agreement
Encouraged and supported South African intervention in Angola against the
MPLA government
Any other relevant response (any 2 x 2) (4)
2.4
2.4.1 [Extraction of evidence from Source 2D – L1]
‘Its own internal problems’
‘The interim government disintegrated’

2.4.2 [Interpretation of evidence from Source 2D – L2]
The involvement of the USA, the Soviet Union and Cuba in Angola was a clear
demonstration of the extension of the Cold War
Foreign countries took sides in the Angolan conflict
The USA as leader of the West and the Soviet Union as leader of the East
supported FNLA together with UNITA and MPLA respectively
Any other relevant response (any 2 x 2) (4)
2.4.3 [Extraction of evidence from Source 2D – L1]
‘Soviet Union/Soviets’
‘Cuba/ Cubans’ (2 x 1) (2)
2.5 [Comparing information in Sources 2C and 2D – L3]
Both Sources 2C and 2D emphasised the cold war rivalry between East and
West as a reason for foreign involvement in the Angolan civil war
Both sources state that South Africa became involved in Angola because they
were encouraged to join the USA in an anti-Marxist alliance
Both Sources 2C and 2D show that the Soviet Union and Cuba supported the
MPLA while the USA and South Africa supported UNITA and FNLA
Any other relevant response (any 2 x 2) (4)
2.6 [Interpretation, analysis and synthesis of evidence from relevant sources – L3]
Candidates could include the following aspects in their response:
The anti-colonial struggle in Angola involved MPLA, FNLA and UNITA that were
funded by foreign powers (Sources 2A and 2C)
Mutual distrust between liberation organisations resulted in them continuing to
receive support from foreign powers after the Alvor Accord (Source 2A, 2C and
2D)
The USA and South Africa supported UNITA and the FNLA (Sources 2A, 2B
and 2D)
The USSR and Cuba supported the MPLA (Sources 2A, 2B and 2D)
Angola was rich in natural resources and of strategic importance, therefore both
the USA and the USSR wanted to keep it within their sphere of influence
(Source 2C)
Angola's independence occurred in context of Cold War rivalry; East and West
took sides backing rival political organisations rather than supporting the
Government of National Unity (Source 2D)
Portugal was weakened by internal problems to oversee the transition of an
independent and unified Angola (Source 2D)
The USA also intervened indirectly, for example, through the support that Zaire
offered to FNLA (own knowledge)

QUESTION 5: INDEPENDENT AFRICA: COMPARATIVE CASE STUDY – THE
CONGO AND TANZANIA
[Plan and construct an original argument based on relevant evidence using analytical and
interpretative skills]
SYNOPSIS
In writing this essay, candidates should explain to what extent Mobuto Sese Seko and
Julius Nyerere influenced the economic, social and cultural development after their
countries gained independence from colonialism.
MAIN ASPECTS
Candidates could include the following aspects in their response:
Introduction: Candidates should explain to what extent Mobutu Sese Seko and Julius
Nyerere's policies influenced the economic, social and cultural development within
their respective countries after decolonisation. They should support their line of
argument with relevant evidence.
ELABORATION
ECONOMIC
The Congo and Tanzania inherited a single-product system from their respective
colonisers; The Congo embraced a capitalist economic system; whereas Tanzania
adopted a socialist economic model. Both struggled to successfully develop their
economies
At independence, the Congo and Tanzania lacked a vibrant manufacturing industry
The Congo aimed to industrialise her economy and develop a manufacturing base
(largely a failure); whereas Tanzania built on its agricultural base, villagisation policy
and Ujaama (faced opposition from independent African farmers)
The Congo relied heavily on foreign aid and expertise from the early 1960s; whereas
Tanzania attempted to be self-sufficient and rejected neo-colonialism
Both countries remained reliant on the export of agricultural products and minerals
Mobutu and Nyerere nationalised land and industry to distribute wealth equally
Neither the Congo nor Tanzania had oil reserves, so both suffered economic crisis
when oil prices rose in the 1970s
Both Mobutu (1970s) and Nyerere (1980s) decided to privatise sectors of the economy
due to an economic crisis
Both countries took loans from foreign countries and organisations: From the 1960s
the Congo received financial aid from the capitalist west; while from the 1980s
Tanzania was forced to take World Bank loans and was subjected to structural
adjustment policies
The Congo's economy was characterised by elitism and nepotism; whereas
Tanzania reduced corruption of government officials through a 'Leadership Code'
The economy of the Congo produced vast differences in wealth between rich and
poor; while Tanzania attempted to minimise economic inequality

SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
Education and language
Colonial education promoted Eurocentric values
Under colonialism few African children received more than a primary education. The
Congo and Tanzania had a few qualified technicians and engineers
Children were taught European history and languages, and western knowledge was
privileged over African knowledge
Education in Tanzania
Nyerere promoted the use of Swahili (a common language spoken by most
Tanzanians) over English
Between 1961 and 1981 illiteracy in Tanzania dropped from 80% to 20%. Primary
school enrolments rose from 86,000 in 1961 to 3.6 million in 1985
Structural adjustment programmes in the 1980s resulted in drastic cuts made in social
spending resulting in lack of textbooks, desks and teachers - but enrolments in
secondary education more than doubled between 1981 and 1991
Nyerere (Tanzania) wrote a pamphlet 'Education for self-reliance' (1967) – he
expanded primary education in rural areas and focused on basic literacy; those few
who received a university education were required to spend time in the countryside
sharing their expertise
KiSwahili language used for unity and national identity
Education in Congo
In the Congo at independence there were 14 university graduates (in a population of
14 million) after independence the higher education system was expanded instead of
providing a free and equal basic education for all.
Between 1960–1974 primary education in the Congo rose from 1,6 million to
4,6 million but this figure dropped in the 1970s and 1980s because state funding was
withdrawn
French remained the language of instruction in the Congo
Africanisation
In Tanzania: Villagisation: Nyerere, promoted 'traditional' community values through
Ujamaa ('familyhood') villages; Tanzanians were encouraged to focus on agriculture,
traditional values and to become self-reliant. Tanzanians should work the land
communally rather than producing cash crops for export
Used KiSwahili to achieve unity and national identity
In Congo: Zairianisation: Mobuto promoted African beliefs and culture through his
policy of authenticité. He argued that democracy was a foreign ideology not suited for
Africa
Mobuto encouraged people to wear African clothing, play and listen to African music
and eat African food
Mobuto renamed many towns and cities in the Congo with African names (e.g.
Leopoldville became Kinshasa; the Congo became Zaire; Joseph-Desire Mobutu
became Mobuto Sese Seko Kuku Ngbedu Waza Banga)
