FIGURE 1.4: GLOBILISATION

An epidemic of globalisation – and the globalisation of an epidemic

Apr 03 2020 20:11
John Luiz
The extraordinary events associated with the spread of the COVID-19 virus over the past
few months has highlighted various weaknesses associated with globalisation. We have
gained from this, but with COVID-19 we are experiencing one of many drawbacks
associated with this model. We have seen the globalisation of an epidemic – now a
pandemic – that respects no borders. In many respects we have been fortunate that
something matching this scale has not happened earlier despite previous hints at this.

The other perspective is that of the epidemic of globalisation itself and what has been
exposed as a result of this virus. The benefits of globalisation in manufacturing has lowered
costs and facilitated specialisation associated with presumed competitive advantages.
To give two examples: The giant Boeing 787 Dreamliner has massive plants in Italy, Japan
and United States manufacturing the one-piece composite fuselage barrels and wings and
these aspects need to be completely in-sync and integrated across the globe. A major
American notebook computer has its LCD display manufactured in South Korea or Taiwan,
the microprocessor and motherboard in China, the memory in Japan, the hard disk drive in
Singapore, Thailand or the Philippines, and the battery in Malaysia or Mexico.

FIGURE 1.5: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

VERONICA BUILDS A HOUSE WITH TOMATOES

Veronica Sianchenga was one of the first in her village to buy the Mosi-o-Tunya, a low cost
irrigation system that is manufactured in Zambia. It costs less than the imported pumps and
produces a higher output because it was designed for the specific local topography of rural
Zambia. Using their Mosi-o-Tunya, Veronica’s family has already started reaping the
benefits of additional income from irrigated produce thanks to IDE’s links to wholesalers and
caterers in Livingstone.
Hard work and keen entrepreneurial instincts have resulted in a dramatically improved
quality of life for Veronica and her family. Due to an increased productivity and sales, in
less than one year, she has been able to build a new house and send her children to
school.

Easy to use tread pump can pump water

from a well or a river and easily transported.

SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION ON HARTBEESPOORT DAM

Hartbeespoort Dam (also known

Coordinates: 25° 44ƍ 39Ǝ S, 27° 53ƍ 58Ǝ E as Harties) is an arch type dam situated
in the North West Province of South
Africa. It lies in a valley to the south of
the Magaliesberg mountain range and
north of the Witwatersberg mountain
range, about 35 kilometres north west
of Johannesburg and 20 kilometres
Hartbeespoort .
west of Pretoria.
A
The dam was originally designed
for irrigation, which is currently its
primary use, as well as for domestic
and industrial use.

The town consists of holiday homes

and permanent residences around the
dam as it is popular with visitors from
nearby Gauteng Province.

Hartbeespoort Aerial Cableway is (the

longest monocableway in Africa.

FIGURE 3.4: FACT FILE ON HARTBEESPORT DAM

FACT FILE – Hartbeespoort Dam area 2527 DB.

Hartbeespoort Dam has mushroomed in the last few years. What was once referred to as
Hartbeespoort Dam, is now a collection of suburbs that include Schoemansville – the
original town – as well as Kosmos, Meerhof, Melodie and Ifafi.

afterwards is cheaper than being reliant on coal (2)
The sources for non-conventional use of energy is renewable and
cheaper (2)
It will create more employment opportunities (2)
It will broaden the skills base of the country’s labour force (2)
An increase in the use of non-conventional sources of energy
decreases dependency on oil and hence the price drops (2)
Energy can be sourced to remote rural areas, stimulating the
economy of these areas (2)
There will be less load-shedding, thus boosting businesses (2)

SECTION B: GEOGRAPHICAL SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES

QUESTION 3
3.1 3.1.1 One centimetre on the map represents 50 000 cm in reality 3 (1 x 1) (1)

3.1.2 4,9 3cm x 0,5 = 2,45 km OR 4,9 3cm ÷ 2 = 2,45 km

[Range 4,8 – 5,0]
= 2 450 metres 3 (2 x 1) (2)
[Range 2 400 – 2 500]

3.2 3.2.1 The difference in years: 2020 – 2012 = 8 3 years

Mean annual change: 5' 3 W
Total change: 8 x 5' W = 40' 3 W
Magnetic declination for 2020: 15°24' W + 340' W = 16 °04ҿ W 3
(5 x 1) (5)

3.2.2 2020 is bigger 3

16°04’ W is bigger than 15°24’ W 3
[ANY ONE]
(1 x 1) (1)

3.2.3 The mean annual change in the magnetic declination is West 9 (1 x 1) (1)

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)

3.6 3.6.1 Raster (1) (1 x 1) (1)

3.6.2 Shows graphics as rows and columns of tiny rectangular pixels to form
a grid (2) (1 x 2) (2)

3.6.3 Line (1) (1 x 1) (1)

3.7 3.7.1 Low (1)

Reason:
The larger the size of a grid cell, the worse its resolution and less
accuracy (2)
Fewer pixels have been used, thus the orthophoto map is not
very clear (2)
The features on the orthophoto map are not very clear/fuzzy (2)
Less detail about the surroundings of buildings can be obtained (2)
