Briefly outline what the living conditions were like in Cape Town during
the early 19th century. (10)
Living conditions in Cape Town during the early 19th century were characterized by
stark disparities. While the elite enjoyed relatively comfortable lifestyles in their
spacious homes with amenities, the majority of the population, including indigenous
peoples and slaves, endured squalid conditions(Ross, 2008). Overcrowding was
rampant in the poorer districts, leading to unsanitary living environments and
heightened risk of disease outbreaks (Hattingh, 2017). Limited access to clean water
and inadequate sewage systems exacerbated these issues, contributing to high
mortality rates. Furthermore, racial segregation and discriminatory laws reinforced
social inequalities, perpetuating the cycle of poverty for marginalized communities.

2. Outline the main ways in which the Cape was anglicised by the British
before the mid-1890’s. (10)
The British colonization of the Cape before the mid-1890s led to significant
anglicization of the region. This process was evident in various aspects of
society, including language, law, and education. English gradually supplanted
Dutch as the dominant language, reflecting the growing influence of British
culture(Kane-Berman, 2013; Worden, 2010). Legal and administrative systems
were restructured to align with British norms, promoting a sense of imperial
unity. Additionally, educational institutions underwent reforms to prioritize
