There are numerous ways to solve school-based violence
By Nuraan Davids 07 Nov 2014
Societal problem
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 …

SECTION B: GENRES OF LITERATURE
Answer EITHER
QUESTION 2: FICTION
Below is an extract from The Heart of Redness (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 theme of education through different
perspectives. 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.’
