You should thank _Lizabeth_ by giving her rep for her post. She has taken the trouble to type up and upload her notes here for everyone's benefit. Not many people would do that. Agreed?

What were the questions?

Is South Africa history anything but boring? Does it cover Mandela and the apartheid?

Its actually quite an interesting piece of history, lots of conflicts in political ideologies, many different protests (both violent and non-violent) leading to international reactions to issues surrounding race and equality. I think its more interesting than areas like American history and yes it covers a lot about Mandela and his development from Apartheid protestor to Prime Minister

It is a very interesting country and its history is quite unique. I really enjoyed learning about it!

What were the questions?

The 8 mark source question was about the views of the PAC in the 1950s. The source was from an article written by Sobukwe, who led the PAC. I cant remember the exact wording of the question but it was similar to that.

The 12 mark source question was about the attitudes towards pass laws in the 1950s. The source was from Helen Joseph.

The 20 markers were:

How accurate is it to say that the growth in Afrikaner nationalism was the main reason for the National Party winning the 1948 election?

Was the Black Conciousness Movement the main reason for the Soweto Uprising?

And the last one was something about Botha's reforms.

I cant remember the exact wording of any questions but hopefully this tells you what you wanted to know

I wanted to ask you. If you do get a good mark on this paper, would you tell people that the real reason why you got that high mark was cos of _Lizabeth_ or would you just keep quiet about it and let people assume that you've been studying diligently for this subject since Day 1?

Have you given _Lizabeth_ rep yet for being so kind to type out her notes and upload them here for everyone's benefit? You do realise that only a handful out of a million people who visit this forum will actually ever be this helpful?

You know when I think of Mandela, I can't help but feel sad cos during his funeral Obama and Cameron took a selfied of themselves smiling. Have you seen that picture? Is it right for leaders of two countries to be taking a selfie at the funeral service of a legendary man?

Most were done in a rush so sorry for any mistakes but it was just soo long :/ Anyways, I recommend you skim through it if you're starting revision on this late because it's shorter but still quite long.

Enjoy

Thank you so much is there any chance you could do these for the American section too
