Learners will be expected to complete THREE activities:

• Activity 1 (OR Tambo centenary celebrations)
  At the official launch of the Oliver and Adelaide Tambo Foundation, President Jacob Zuma mentioned that, "The values of unity, selflessness, sacrifice, collective leadership, humility, honesty, discipline, hard work, internal debates, constructive criticism and self-criticism, and mutual respect, are some of the values that encapsulate what Oliver Tambo stood for."

  Learners are expected to highlight their observations on whether South Africans, especially civil servants and politicians, are emulating the values that Oliver Tambo stood for. Explain what needs to be done to address the issues of socio economic upliftment and advancement, education, the empowerment of women and the promotion of arts, culture and heritage initiatives.

• Activity 2
  According to the National Heritage Resources Act, 1999 (Act 25 of 1999), and the National Heritage Council Act, 1999 (Act 11 of 1999), living heritage means the intangible aspects of inherited culture and may include, amongst others: cultural tradition, performance, oral history, rituals, popular memory, indigenous knowledge, skills and techniques, and lastly, the holistic approach to nature/environment, society and social relationships.

  Learners are expected to identify these forms of intangible cultural heritage/living heritage that are under threat/vulnerable. Suggest ways in which it could be preserved and promoted for the benefit of current and future generations. They are expected to give a description of the forms of heritage that are under threat, its importance and possible interventions. Learners may also highlight the importance of living heritage in forging social cohesion, nation building and national identity.

• Activity 3
  The year 2017 marks 100 years after the sinking of the British troopship, the SS Mendi, in which over 600 South Africans lost their lives. It also marks 40 years since the brutal death of the leader of the Black Consciousness Movement, Stephen (Steve) Bantu Biko, under the apartheid regime. As part of commemoration and remembrance of these events, graves, burial sites, war memorials and monuments, etc. are built that now form part of the contemporary landscape that serves as tangible and symbolic reminders of our turbulent history.

  Learners are expected to identify these forms of tangible cultural heritage in their communities and discuss the significance and relevance of these sites in the new South Africa. Learners must suggest ways in which they could be preserved and promoted for the benefit of current and future generations.
