Firstly, countering violence cannot be the sole responsibility of a school. Educational
leaders and educators are neither equipped nor should they be expected to know
how to manage what is essentially a societal problem.
When learners come to school with knives, or when they think cyberbullying is some
form of acceptable social interaction, or when educators have sexual relationships
with schoolgirls, then these are not comments on the schooling system as much as
they are reflections of a social malaise.
[…]
That said, in the absence of an unfractured society and a socially just democracy,
schools have no option but to fulfil the surrogacy roles of parenting, caring and
disciplining.

[…]
This requires of all schools to get to know their learners, to create the necessary
spaces for dialogue, to listen to the stories of others, to engage with the learner from
his/her own perspective, and to enact the language and behaviour that are desired
from learners …

Q U E S TIO N 2: F IC T IO N
Below is an extract from T h e H e a rto f R e d n e ss(2000) by Zakes Mda. In the extract,
Camagu discusses a local court case with his friend John Dalton and Dalton’s wife,
called Missus by Camagu. The case concerns a local girl, Qukezwa, who was called
before court, the inkundla, for the crime of cutting down trees without the chief’s
permission. Dalton also mentions Camagu’s involvement in a local co-operative
society with two women that sells seafood to tourists.
Write an essay on the extract in which you analyse the way that literary features have
been used to develop the th e m e o f e d u c a tio n th ro u g h d iffe re n tp e rs p e c tiv e.s
Through the use of literary devices such as characterisation and perspective, the
author shows that education is both important for the community and can occur in
many forms, such as listening to people’s opinions and overcoming prejudice. Your
essay must discuss in depth the way in which the extract depicts different kinds of
education and the way in which it develops this theme.
‘She’s crazy, that one! Fancy cutting down trees!’ Dalton laughs.
‘I too thought so, John. I thought she was mad. Until I heard her side of the story. She
has a point, John.’
Dalton and Missus look at him closely, as if to make sure if he too hasn’t lost it.
‘You are aligned with destructive forces, Camagu,’ says Dalton. ‘I hear that your
women of the co-operative killed a swartobbie bird, the black oystercatcher. They said
it was competing with them for mussels.’
