Question 3:

Referencing Style : PULP

According to Magubane, it is important that amidst our democratic dispensation, we

remember our colonial past.1 He asserts that this memory is not intended to open up old
wounds, but rather it should rather be used as a compass to navigate the present reality.
2
Although we have transformed from the deeply racist and colonial regimes, there remains a
residue or remnants of this past through the descendants of the people that benefitted from the
colonial systems.3 It therefore becomes imperative that victims of the past and their
descendants stay aware of where they come from, as present circumstances are largely
affected by past transgressions. 4The greatest weapon these victims have is their memory and
awareness. 5

Question 4:

4.1. No, this writing sample does not include proper referencing. Firstly, it contains verbatim
extracts from the Magubane quotation and the verbatim texts are not written with quotation
marks to credit the author. It does not include footnote numbers at the end of each sentence to
acknowledge Magubane’s ideas.

4.2. Yes, because the writer clearly credits the author and accurately places footnote at the
end of the sentence. The writer paraphrases Kennedy’s idea into his own understanding.

4.3. No, the sample text’s sentences just have rearranged words or synonyms of the words
used in the quotation, although the writer includes a footnote at the end of the sentence.

4.4. No, although the sample text includes a footnote to credit the author, it is largely
verbatim and the writer fails to translate the text in his own words.

4.5. Yes, this sample text has been sourced correctly as the writer has paraphrased the text
into his own words and has given credit to the author.
