Dear Student
,1 INTRODUCTION
We would like to welcome you as a student of the Department of Political Sciences and trust that you

The Department offers modules on a semesterised basis. This implies that there are two periods of

approximately from February to May and the second period from July to October.
The examinations follow each period of study. Please note that aegrotat and supplementary
examinations will coincide with the examinations of the following semester.
THE STUDY MATERIAL FOR THIS MODULE CONSISTS OF:
• This tutorial letter,
• e-Reserves that must be downloaded from the Unisa Library website (see STEP 3 on pages 6 to 7
of this tutorial letter)
• A study guide which can be downloaded from the APC3701 myUnisa page (see STEP 1 on page 6
of this tutorial letter), and
• A prescribed reader that will be delivered to you (see STEP 2 on page 6 of this tutorial letter).
2 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES
2.1 Purpose
This module, which deals with the Politics of Southern Africa, consists of two options. Students must
choose either Option 1 (Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) or Option 2 (Angola, Mozambique and
Namibia).
, ONLY CHOOSE OPTION 1 OR OPTION 2. DO NOT CHOOSE BOTH OPTIONS. ONCE CHOSEN, YOU HAVE
TO REMAIN WITH YOUR CHOICE OF OPTION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MODULE. THIS
MEANS YOU WILL DO TWO ASSIGNMENTS AND WRITE AN EXAM IN LINE WITH THE OPTION CHOSEN.
Option 1: Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
The three countries that are the focus of Option 1 are former colonies of Britain. These countries have
experienced different fortunes as independent states. Botswana which started off as a poor country is
currently stable and prosperous. It retained a democratic political system
as well as a capitalist economy. Led by Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia adopted the one-party political system
and African socialism (humanism) a few years after independence. Internal and external factors led to
serious political problems which were eventually responsible for the removal of Kaunda’s regime in
1990. Zimbabwe’s independence was welcomed and a bright future was predicted for the country.
Zimbabwe started its new life as an independent state well and made a good impression to political
observers. However, in the second decade the country
experienced serious socio-economic and political problems which have paralysed the country up until
the current period.
Option 2: Angola, Mozambique and Namibia
The purpose of this option is to provide you with an introduction to the politics of Angola,
Mozambique and Namibia. Both Mozambique and Angola achieved their independence from Portugal
after armed struggles, only to be plunged into civil wars thereafter. Angola in particular
is noted for the role that natural resources such as oil and diamonds helped to fuel the civil war. Both
have faced the challenge of post-conflict political and economic reconstruction and reform as well as the
challenge of democratic consolidation. First colonised by Germany, the territory
now known as Namibia was entrusted to the temporary guardianship of South Africa by the League of
Nations. It subsequently became a territory ruled by South Africa without an international mandate.
After an armed struggle and a peace process facilitated by the United Nations (UN), Namibia gained
independence in 1990. Although it has not been embroiled in civil war, it has faced challenges to
democratic consolidation similar to those faced by its Southern African neighbours.
2.2 Outcomes
Option 1: Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
If you have chosen Option 1, at the end of this you should be able to:
• explain the ways in which selected states gained independence;
