1.1     Refer to Source 1A.

        1.1.1    What factors, according to the source, aroused Afrikaner
                 Nationalism?                                                   (2 x 1)      (2)

QUESTION 1:          HOW WAS AFRIKANER NATIONALISM PROMOTED IN SOUTH
                     AFRICA DURING THE 1930s TO 1940s?

SOURCE 1A

The source below describes the reasons for the rise of Afrikaner Nationalism.

It was resentment (anger) over the unequal distribution of status, wealth, political control
and the fear of cultural absorption into an English oriented society, which aroused
Afrikaner Nationalism. Their remarkable recovery from defeat has been a decisive fact in
twentieth-century South African history, with far-reaching consequences not only for the
composition and character of the white elite, but also for those excluded from ordinary
civil rights.

The story of Afrikanerdom’s regeneration from the ashes of its 1902 defeat to
undisputed (certain) mastery of South Africa is a remarkable one, elaborately
romanticised by Afrikaner publicists as a modern version of a minuscule (small)
Afrikaner David slaying the British Goliath.

The treks to the cities, coupled with the Boers’ defeat at the hands of the British were
the two forces that decisively moulded (shaped) Afrikaner Nationalism. Beginning with
the mineral revolution, industrialisation turned the Boers into an urban proletariat
(worker) in the employment of a foreign, capitalist class. The fact that English speakers
monopolised (controlled) finance, commerce and mining, persuaded Afrikaners that their
national and class enemy was one and the same. Afrikaner Nationalism therefore
launched a three pronged (split) struggle: cultural, economic and political.

SOURCE 1B

The source below describes the contribution of the Band of Brotherhood (Broederbond)
to promote Afrikaner Nationalism.

The Afrikaner- Broederbond’s aim is the promotion of the Afrikaners political, cultural and
economic interest. The Afrikaner Broederbond is an extremely exclusive, secret Afrikaner
nationalist organisation which in a symbiotic (co-operative) relationship with the National
Party has played a determining role in the political development of South Africa.

Membership of the Afrikaner Broederbond is limited to men. The Broederbond demands
high cultural, family-related, religious, moral and political standards from its members. To
qualify, a person must meet the following requirements: he must be a member of one of
the traditional Afrikaans churches, must have attended an Afrikaner school, must have
married an Afrikaans-speaking wife and he must support the ‘right’ party, the National
Party. Definite disqualifications are being divorced and irregular church attendance.

Although the constitution of the Afrikaner Broederbond excludes party politics from its
activities, it has become clear over the years that the organisation does have significant
political clout (influence). It was increasingly used as a ‘think tank’ and subsequently as
“legitimator” of new policy directions undertaken by the National Party. It established
numerous support organisations to broaden Afrikaner interest and made it its business to
appoint, promote and protect the “right man.” An important strategy is that of gaining
control of school committees, school boards, church councils and board of directors in
order to achieve its aims.

SOURCE 1C

This source describes the role played by the National Party to consolidate Afrikaner
Nationalism.

The present day National Party emerged from the Purified National Party (PNP). This
faction of the original National Party of 1914 was built on deep-seated Afrikaner
Nationalism. The birth of the NP was not only the result of a power struggle between
English and Afrikaans-speaking communities, but also of an anti-imperialist attitude
among Afrikaners. The Afrikaner wanted to play a more significantly political role in
society and government. They also had a clear aim to physically, socially and politically
separate South African blacks, coloureds and Indians.

The NP was increasingly seen by Afrikaners as the institution which would further their
group interest. The party was complemented by cultural, social, economic and religious
organisations created exclusively for Afrikaners. Along with Nasionale Pers, the
Afrikaner-Broederbond, Sanlam, AVBOB, the Voortrekkers, FAK, Helpmekaar, KWV and
Volkskas, the NP became a growing Afrikaner power group. The party organised
Afrikaner interest in a coordinated manner, making itself felt in every sphere of South
African society.

The year 1938 was important for the PNP for another reason. It was the centenary of the
Great Trek and Afrikaner sentiments were heightened as a result. It was also time for
Malan to strengthen his racial policies for the benefit of Afrikanerdom and strive for a
resurgent (increasing) Afrikaner Nationalism. From now on, mixed marriages would be
punishable, to put an end to racially mixed residential areas and to implement both
economic and political segregation between whites and “non-whites”. Malan also aimed
to guard his country against the outside external influences of capitalism and
communism …

QUESTION 2:          HOW DID THE PROHIBITION OF MIXED MARRIAGES ACT (NO. 55 OF
                     1949) AFFECT THE LIVES OF SOUTH AFRICANS?

SOURCE 2A

This source explains the policy of apartheid that was implemented by the National Party
in 1948.

The years of apartheid are undoubtedly one of the darkest moments in South Africa’s
history, The period which spanned from 1948 to 1994 was characterised by racial
segregation, white minority rule and the oppression of the rights, movements and
freedom of the blacks. The word ‘apartheid’ literally means ‘the state of being apart’ or
separateness’.

It was used as a political slogan of the National Party in the early 1940s. However, it may
interest you to know that the policy itself extents back to the beginning of white
settlement in South Africa which started as far back as 1652. It, however, became an
official government structure after 1948’s general elections.

The policy classified the citizens and residents of the country into four racial classes-
white, coloured, black and Indian. Things went from bad to worse after that. More than
3,5 million South Africans were evicted from their homes and were forcefully relocated to
segregated neighbourhoods. Government segregation also applied to education,
relations, natural attractions such as beaches, medical care and several other services.

SOURCE 2B

The source below explains the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act which was one of the
first pieces of apartheid legislation enacted after the National Party came into power.

The Act banned marriages between ‘Europeans and non-Europeans’, which, in the
language of the time, meant that white people could not marry people of other races. It
also made it a criminal offence for a marriage officer to perform an interracial marriage
ceremony. The Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act did not, however, prevent other so-
called mixed marriages between non-white people. While they were in effect ‘mixed’
marriages, the law did not see them as interracial.

A woman who married a man of another race was then classified as being of his race.
Her husband of choice defined her race. The exception to this was if a white man
married a woman of another race, then he took on her race.

Despite the loopholes created by pre-existing mixed marriages and non-white interracial
marriages, the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages and the Immorality Act were strictly
enforced. Nonetheless, intimate and romantic relationships did develop between white
and non-whites. The very fact that interracial relations were so taboo (forbidden) made
them appealing (attractive) and people engaged in interracial relations as a form of
rebellion or for the excitement it offered.

Interracial relations came with serious risks. The police followed people who were
suspected of engaging in interracial relations. They raided the homes at night. Those
found guilty of the Immorality Act faced fines, jail time and social censure.

This source explains the experiences of Ian Whiteley and his wife Sherrin under the
Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act.

Ian Whiteley who happens to be white was married to Sherrin, who is of Indian descent.
They met in Petersburg when he was 30 and she was 17. Soon, despite the law that
made it impossible for them to marry and the risk that they would be detected
(discovered), they became lovers. Sherrin’s parents came to think of the white man as
their son-in-law, but inevitably there came the knock on the door signaling a police raid,
which was led by one of his old school friends who explained that he was, ‘just doing my
job’.

Ultimately they were acquitted on an immorality charge for lack of evidence, but only
after Mr Whiteley had been jailed for three months. They fled to Botswana, where they
were finally able to marry. They eventually moved to Norway and because of his love for
rugby moved to Liverpool. All the time he kept alive the impossible dream that they
might return to live in South Africa as man and wife, beseeching (requesting many
times) South African prime ministers with his appeals. ‘We didn’t like Europe; we’re
South Africans. I missed my biltong, pap and wors.’

Finally they were allowed to return to South Africa. Towns like Pietersburg had little to
offer mixed couples in the way of amenities. The movie theatre had a small partitioned
enclosure in the balcony for Indians, where Mr Whiteley, who had vowed not to go
anywhere his wife cannot go, is allowed to sit. Mr Whiteley’s only disappointment is that
his 10-year-old son, Raymond, who showed promise in rugby when they lived in
Liverpool, has been unable to play as it was only the white schoolboys who were the
young rugby players in town. A former rugby player himself, Mr Whiteley hopes to
knock the barrier down or, failing that, promote the sport among Indians so that his son
can get a game.

1. SOURCE-BASED QUESTIONS

    1.1   The following cognitive levels were used to develop source-based
          questions:

    COGNITIVE                                                           WEIGHTING OF

                     x Define historical concepts/terms.
                     x Interpretation of evidence from the
                       sources.
                                                                            50%

    LEVEL 3            usefulness, reliability, bias and limitations.
                                                                            (10)
                     x Compare and contrast interpretations and
                       perspectives presented in sources and
                       draw independent conclusions.

    1.2   The information below indicates how source-based questions are
          assessed:

          x In the marking of source-based questions credit needs to be given to
            any other valid and relevant viewpoints, arguments, evidence or
            examples.
          x In the allocation of marks emphasis should be placed on how the
            requirements of the question have been addressed.
          x 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.
          x When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
            be credited for any other relevant answers.
          x 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

          x Use a tick (9) for each correct answer
          x Pay attention to the mark scheme e.g. (2 × 2) which translates to two
            reasons and is given two marks each (9999); (1 × 2) which translates
            to one reason and is given two marks (99)
          x If a question carries 4 marks then indicate by placing 4 ticks (9999)

          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:
          x Read the paragraph and place a bullet ( . ) at each point within the text
             where the candidate has used relevant evidence to address the
             question.
          x Re-read the paragraph to evaluate the extent to which the candidate has
             been able to use relevant evidence to write a paragraph.
          x At the end of the paragraph indicate the ticks (¥) that the candidate has
             been 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.

          ___________ ‫_________________ ޣ __________________________ ޣ‬
          _________________ ‫___________ ޣ __________________________ ޣ‬
          ¥¥¥¥
          Level 2

          Used mostly relevant evidence to write a basic paragraph
          x Count all the ticks for the source-based question and then write the mark
            on the right-hand bottom margin e.g.

          x Ensure that the total mark is transferred accurately to the front/back
            cover of the answer script.

2. ESSAY QUESTIONS
                                                               32
                                                               50

    2.1   The essay questions require candidates to:
          x 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

          x Markers must be aware that the content of the answer will be guided by
            the textbooks in use at the particular centre.
          x Candidates may have any other relevant introduction and/or conclusion
            than those included in a specific essay marking guideline for a specific
            essay.
          x When assessing open-ended source-based questions, learners should
            be credited for any other relevant answers.

    2.3 Global assessment of the essay

        The essay will be assessed holistically (globally). This approach requires the
        teacher to score the overall product as a whole, without scoring the component
        parts separately. This approach encourages the learner to offer an individual
        opinion by using selected factual evidence to support an argument. The learner
        will not be required to simply regurgitate ‘facts’ in order to achieve a high mark.
        This approach discourages learners from preparing ‘model’ answers and
        reproducing them without taking into account the specific requirements of the
        question. Holistic marking of the essay credits learners’ opinions supported by
        evidence. Holistic assessment, unlike content-based marking, does not
        penalise language inadequacies as the emphasis is on the following:

        x The learner’s interpretation of the question
        x The appropriate selection of factual evidence (relevant content selection)
        x The construction of argument (planned, structured and has independent line
          of argument)

    2.4 Assessment procedures of the essay

        2.4.1 Keep the synopsis in mind when assessing the essay.

        2.4.2 During the reading of the essay ticks need to be awarded for a relevant
              introduction (indicated by a bullet in the marking guideline), each of the
              main points/aspects that is properly contextualised (also indicated by
              bullets in the marking guideline) and a relevant conclusion (indicated by
              a bullet in the marking guideline) e.g. in an answer where there are 5
              main points there will be 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.   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 essays will be to determine to what extent the
