Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
We would like to welcome you as a student of the Department of Political Sciences and trust
that you will find this module interesting and stimulating. We hope that you will be successful in
your academic endeavours and that you will continue your studies in this Department by
selecting other modules that we offer.

concerning your studies.
The Department offers modules on a semesterised basis. This implies that there are two
periods of tuition, as well as two sets of examinations during each calendar year. The first
period runs 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:
2
, 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).
THE MOST IMPORTANT STUDY MATERIAL ARE THE E-RESERVE
ARTICLES. THE ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAM ARE BASED ON THESE
ARTICLES.
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.
