Answer ONE of the following two questions.


QUESTION 1: SOCIAL PERSUASION
Read the following social persuasive text closely and answer the question that follows.


In South Africa, pupils in more than 3 000 schools still use pit toilets


At a high school in rural northern South Africa, more than 300 students and their teachers share
three toilets, and that woefully lopsided figure is not the worst problem.

The three toilets are pit latrines, effectively three-metre holes in the ground, which students line up
during a lunch break to use.

The pit toilets at Seipone Secondary School in the village of Ga-Mashashane, Limpopo, are at
least covered by white toilet seats and enclosed by brick structures. Some of the pit toilets, still
used at more than 3 300 schools in poor, mostly rural areas across South Africa, are not.

It is a shameful situation for a country referred to as the most developed in Africa, and an indicator
of its profound problems with poverty and inequality, say human rights groups, who are pushing
the South African government to do away with the sub-standard facilities in schools.

Unhygienic, the latrines present a much more direct danger.
In January 2014, James Komape, at the nearby Chebeng village, received a phone call asking
him to rush to his five-year-old son's pre-school.

The little boy, Michael, was found dead, drowned at the bottom of a pit latrine. Michael's body had
not even been removed from the pool of water mixed with faeces and urine at the bottom of the pit
he fell into when his father got there.

"What hurt me a lot about Michael's incident is that the people who were there saw that he had
fallen in the toilet, but they did not remove him," said James Komape.
