cause, or it may result from a specific illness. In
fact, there are numerous causes a n d it is

does not make itself immediately apparent. Two

unaware that there is anything wrong with them.
If blood pressure is not treated, there is a strong
likelihood that serious problems will develop at
a later stage. Hypertension subjects the blood
vessels to excessive pressure, which can lead
to loss of elasticity of the wails of the blood
vessels. This inhibits the flow of blood to vital
organs such as the brain, heart and kidneys -
thus increasing the risk of strokes, heart
attacks, impaired vision or kidney failure.

The Wrath of Eiine

1 Rosina Ernesto has experienced more hardship than most27-year-oIds: twice in her life, she has
fegen made a refugee - f novy by an "act ot-Godl Ernesto's house, near the capital
of Maputo, w a s nowhere near_ajiv,er, b u t J t i a d already flooded two-weeka before Cyclone Eline
struck on Tuesday, tearirig-Up-theJand with winds-Of-more.than 2 0 0 k m / h . She and her husband
and three children are now waiting for the waters to sub.'^irie in a refugee camp on the north-
eastern outskirts of Maputo. "We took what we could, but I had to leave behind bedding and
blanketsiDecause they were so waterlogged we couldn't carry them. Now my home is like a lake.
First there w a s the disaster of the war and now this. I'd be happy if only I could have back what I
lost."

2 Hers is a common tale in Mozambique, one of the world's poorest countries, a long and gangiy
land of silent bush, broken buildings and smiling people. And it is the cheerfulness which makes
the sorrow of Mozambique so heart-rending to witness: so shortly after recuperating from 30
years of war, it has been devastated by this week's tropical Cyclone Eline, the worst storm in half
a century.
«>

3 It is, a s Mozambique's honorary First Lady, Graca Machel, told the Sunday Times this week,
"terrible, unbelievable". The wife of former South Africa President Nelson Mandela and the widow
of Mozambique independent leader Samora Machel, she toured her country this week, giving what
comfort she could. S h e said the effects of thepast three weeks of floods amounted to "more or less
the same" a s 30 years of war. "Sometimes it's depressing; you try to be positive, but at the same
time it's like you move and then you are back and you have to start from scratch again. It's really
very tough."

4 Rosina Ernesto w a s born into a subsistence farming community in the village of Makashula, near
Inhambane, about 600 km northeast of Maputo. Her earliest memories are of the war which began
in the far north in 1962, a full decade before her birth. It began a s a .struggle-against-the,
Pxirtuguese-werlbrds, escalated into a oppulist revolutiOT_and then became, through.the meddling
of South Africa, Rhodesia and the Unitea States, a bitter civil war which turned the country into a
landmine-strewn wasteland. "The Renamo bandits j s e d to come, and we had to hide," she said,
referring to the counter-revoiutionary forces founded by Rhodesian intelligence officers to curb the
threat of the Frelimo guerrilla movement. 'They would not only take our food and our clothes, but
vyojj.ld also take villagers away, some to kill, some women as wives and some young men to turn
intQ.soldiers." Her elder brother, Alberto, was taken at 14. To this day, her family have no idea of his
fate. Thousands of peasants like Ernesto were forced by the fighting to seek.employment and
sanctuary in Maputo. S h e returned home briefly i n 1992, the year i n wnich hostilities ceased and
tne war ended,

5 It was also the year in which speculators began to plunder Mozambique and the year in which
Frelimo President Joaquim Chissano llaid the foundation stone of the refurbished colonial-style
Polana Hotel. T h e revolution was over. Reconstruction had begun.

operational and tourists t.locxea Jsack to its paim-lined beaches. Massive problems remained: the
clearanceprthrCdMdlyjanJmlnelegacy, healthcare-inacountry and
the.narrpw nature of new investment and capital growth, a s evidenced by the fact that a 1997/98
study by the auditing firm KPMG showed the Pplana Hotel w a s the 29th biggest cornpa.ny in the
country. But signs of new construction were everywhere, and, perhaps more importantly,
Mozambique had regained its spirit and.its people their famous smiles.. Last year was the third year
running that, thanks to the ruralpopulationreturning to the land, Mozambique \was self--:sufficjent_in
its foo_d supply. It was already being hailed a s a model of i i o w African, countries could uplift
themselves without falling into a dependency trap.

Machel's message to the world is simple:"aid .dgriors need to focus. Qn_as_sistance beyond flood

8 In an interview in Maputo this week. United Nations Under-Secretary General Ibrahim Gambart,
who is Kofi Annan's special adviser on African affairs, concurred, saying the international
community needed to supplement its response to immediate emergencies with 'more long-term
efforts to rebuild countries like Mozambique'. But for Rosina Ernesto, who hopes soon to be
resettled where she can erect another brick, reed and corrugated-iron home for her family the
strain is hard to bear. "I don't feel very happy," she said. "Even though I am still young I've had this
trouble all my life and for me there is no other way out." The despair people like her feel is
movingly expressed by Machel: "The difference here [between the war and the floods] is that
people feel hopeless in the face of this new 'enemy'. How do you talk to nature? How do you
prevent nature from taking its course?"

Ghost Online Video App

The creator of Ghost Online Video App, Taolo Modisi, s a y s the application will help independent
performance artists, musicians, film-makers and animators get discovered.

Speaking to Time Out during their launch,

Modisi said the app, which will also soon
be launched in S a n Francisco, U S A , will
help unveil new talent to producers and
music compilers. "Our principal aim is to
solve the problem of lack of revenue on
mainstream digital platforms. This is a
platform basically to showcase the talent
out there so that it gets to be seen by all
the concerned parties. So, I hope people

n
will get the best out of it," she said.

The online video and multichannel platform

targets independent performance artists from various genres in the entertainment fraternity. It is
intended to be a networking platform where artists share ideas on how to improve their
industries.

Modisi said it would also be very important to have a site where local musicians could share
ideas, experiences and skills which can encourage growth of local music. "I am happy to
announce that we are working hard to come up with a website which will enable our local artists
to interact on work experiences with each other. One thing I would urge our artists to do is to
take their craft seriously if they are to be recognised internationally, because there are certain
standards one has to meet to be reputable," she said.

The launch, which experienced a good turnout, was graced by prominent local entertainment
figures such a s D J L a Timmy, Shanti-lo and Kelly Molosiwa, who also works with Modisi on the
new app.

Read passage B and answer question 2 (a) to (g) on the question paper.

Pleasure snacks without the guilt

Small regular meals are necessary to keep your metabolism fast, but if you eat the wrong stuff,
especially between meals, you will soon pile on the kilograms. Luckily, you do not have to ban
snacks from your diet. S n a c k s do not only stop you from over-indulging during mealtimes, but
they can actually make you feel better. The right food improves your mood, your health and your
soul.

Cheese and crackers are the ideal late-night snack. The carbohydrates in crackers calm you down
and can even make you feel sleepy. The feel-good hormone, serotin, is released when ingesting
carbs, and you feel calmer and more in control. The combination of carbs and protein keeps you
fuller for longer, curbing the urge for a midnight feast. Choose wholegrain crackers because
refined "white" crackers will make your energy levels spike for a while, only to bring them down
again, along with your mood. Also, opt for reduced fat cheese, for a waist-friendly meal.

Potatoes also count a s vegetables, and contribute

about 2 0 % of your daily vitamin C requirements.
Bake and eat potatoes in their jackets; they are a
good source of fibre, a s well a s a snack that is low
in fat and kilojoules. Remember to bake the
potatoes, as it helps retain vitamins and minerals.
Eat them with a bit of soft margarine which contains
essential fats important for your brain and nerve
health.

Frozen yoghurt sounds so much healthier than full

cream ice cream, but if you don't watch out, it can be
just as fattening. The plus side is that yoghurt is a
rich source of probiotics, friendly bacteria which
strengthen your immune system and can improve
your digestive system. Yoghurt is the ideal snack; it
won't cause your tummy to make rumbling sounds
while digesting, which is usually the case with solid
foods.

An omelette too is the perfect late-afternoon snack. Usually by lunchtime you start feeling tired
and you then need protein to slap you awake. Protein is a source of amino acids, which the brain
needs for alertness and motivation. Eggs are therefore the way to go.

W E C O - E X I S T E D WITH WILD ANIMALS

Culture played an important role in resolving the conflict between elephants and us back in
the olden days. There were certain traditions and beliefs that we had. These were observed
mostly during the harvesting season when elephants came to our fields in the evenings.

We were always advised to use a knife to collect melons and whatever w a s in the fields;
othenA/ise, just pulling them out by hand would attract attention from wild animals, especially 5
elephants. We called it "tama," a taboo. After eating, there w a s a certain way of disposing
of the leftovers. We were not allowed to throw them into the thorn bushes, but we had to put
them gently on the ground, outside the traditional enclosed kraal-like dwelling, for cows and
donkeys to eat.

We observed taboos even when going hunting and fishing, and when going to collect io
thatching grass and reeds. It worked and we have experienced that. If you break the norm,
something strange might happen, but we avoided that, so we observed the tradition, and it is
something we still hold on to today. We know it, even though some might be shy to talk
openly about it, but it is our culture, our life. We survived by doing all these things, settling
ultimately the friction between us and wild animals. 15

There were concoctions prepared for dogs to make them fearless in the bush and some
customs observed to prevent being attacked by wild animals and not to encounter hippos
and crocodiles in the hver. We did all these and, even as children, we knew how to behave
when the elders had gone out into the bush or to the river, so a s not to cast a bad spell on
them while they were out there. It is the way that we related to nature and its other 20
inhabitants, the wild animals. With all these observations, we managed to dwell in peace at
the lands and in our homes without much disturbance from wild animals. We followed our
traditional ways of keeping them at bay. We wound around the bush collecting berries and
setting traps for birds.

We distinguished between the footprints of a duiker and a goat, of a buffalo and cow, of a 25
wild dog and a dog, lion, hyena and so on. We had deep knowledge of nature. We told
apart the footprints of a male elephant from those of a female, and the direction a snake was
heading to and coming from. We were knowledgeable about nature and appreciated its
existence. We used the sounds made by birds to be aware of danger, locate honey and to
foretell what might be going on at home while we were in the bush. Different sounds of birds 30
signalled something. Some signalled dangerous snakes, what the time w a s (as there were
no watches in the olden days) or that you were not far from a hver. Some birds would signal
where a dangerous animal w a s heading by the direction in which they were flying. All of
these helped us to live in harmony with the animals. The conflict w a s minimal.

There w a s life in the bush and on the riverside. We juggled between the two and the 35
equation balanced. Seasonally, there were wild fruits in the bush and on the flood
plains. No season ever passed without something to find from these two places for both, us
and wild animals. During the months of September to December, we came across
animals like crocodiles, red lenchwes, sitatungas and hippos. Buffaloes and zebras
came through the flood plains looking for pasture and mixing with our cattle. A few days 40
later, we heard the roar of lions following behind. On most occasions this happened in
the Delta where the animals lived, because there w a s plenty of pasture.

There were places that were good for wild animals and we spent years without them
crossing over to our side. Wild dogs came but would not stay long because we disturbed
them. Hyenas were active at night during the rainy season. They did not cause much

 HO
damage. Dogs barked to scare them away. This provided security for our property and
ourselves. People did not run away from wild animals. We used any means to scare them
away. We did all this from generation to generation, until the arrival of the elephants.

There had always been elephants, but not like the numbers we see today. The numbers 50
have increased tremendously. We rarely came across them during the day, and they
crossed quietly to the river at night and left before sunrise. They drank water and bathed or
cooled down and that w a s all we knew about them. We believed that they were afraid of our
smell and that w a s why they avoided coming close to humans. If they were close, we held
our dogs back and stopped them from barking at the elephants because that roused the 55
elephants' anger and they could attack us. If you heard someone beating a drum, or saw
someone making a huge fire, it signalled the presence of elephants and we did the same to
block them and they retreated. It is how we worked the magic with elephants in the olden
days.

Things have changed. We are failing to keep up with the pressure of huge populations of
elephants. Even in places where there used to be no elephants, now they are there. The 60
things that we used to do have been overtaken by these wild animals. We have surrendered
our traditional lifestyle to these beasts.
