Discuss how the unwillingness to act against criminal activities happening in your community could increase the rate of crime making your environment unsafe.

Discuss how the unwillingness to act against criminal activities happening in your community could increase the rate of crime making your environment unsafe.


  • Perpetuation of Criminal Activities: When individuals fail to report criminal activities or refuse to cooperate with law enforcement officials, it can allow criminal activities to continue unabated. This can create an environment where criminals feel emboldened to continue committing crimes since they believe that they will not be caught or held accountable.


  • Lack of Deterrence: The failure to act against criminal activities can also lead to a lack of deterrence. Criminals may feel that there is no risk associated with committing crimes in the community since there are no consequences for their actions.


  • Increased Fear: When individuals do not take action against criminal activities in their community, it can create a sense of fear and uncertainty among community members. They may feel that they are not safe in their own community, and this can have a significant impact on their overall wellbeing and quality of life.


  • Loss of Trust: If individuals in a community fail to take action against criminal activities, it can lead to a loss of trust among community members. People may begin to view each other with suspicion and distrust, and this can create an environment of division and hostility.


  • Normalization of Criminal Behavior: When criminal activities are not addressed, they can become normalized within the community. This can lead to a situation where criminal behavior is seen as acceptable, and this can create a cycle of crime that is difficult to break.

State THREE ways in which a filthy living environment could negatively impact the general wellbeing of those living in it.


  • Increased risk of illnesses and infections: Living in a filthy environment can expose individuals to harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that can cause various illnesses, such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and skin infections. This can lead to frequent sickness and weakened immune systems, which can further deteriorate one's health and wellbeing.

Studies have shown that living in a messy and disorganized environment can increase stress levels and feelings of anxiety and depression. Additionally, the feeling of being overwhelmed by a dirty environment can also contribute to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.


  • Physical hazards: A filthy living environment can pose physical hazards that can lead to injuries and accidents. For example, cluttered spaces can increase the risk of tripping and falling, while mold and mildew growth can cause respiratory problems and allergic reactions. In extreme cases, vermin infestations and structural damage can pose significant dangers to the health and safety of individuals living in the environment.

Clarify why the Bill of rights provides for Section 36 which sets limits to the exercise of all the rights in South Africa.

Clarify why the Bill of rights provides for Section 36 which sets limits to the exercise of all the rights in South Africa.


Section 36 of the South African Constitution is known as the Limitation Clause, and it sets out the conditions under which the rights contained in the Bill of Rights may be limited. The Bill of Rights is a cornerstone of South Africa's constitutional democracy, and it sets out the fundamental rights and freedoms that all South Africans are entitled to.


However, the Constitution recognizes that there may be times when these rights need to be limited in the interests of other important values, such as national security, public order, or the protection of the rights of others. Section 36 provides a framework for determining when and how such limitations may be imposed


The purpose of Section 36 is to ensure that any limitations on rights are reasonable and justifiable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality, and freedom. This means that any limitation must be aimed at achieving a legitimate aim, such as protecting public safety, and must be proportional to the harm that it seeks to prevent.

Explain why it is important for the youth to always ensure cyber-safety when they communicate on social media.


  • Protection of Personal Information: Social media platforms require users to provide personal information, including their full name, birth date, and location, which can be accessed by anyone. Cyber-criminals can exploit this information to steal their identity, commit fraud, and carry out other malicious activities.


  • Cyberbullying: Cyberbullying is a widespread problem on social media, and the youth are the most vulnerable. Cyberbullies can hide behind anonymous usernames, spread hateful messages, and harass their victims online. Cyber-safety measures such as blocking, reporting, and limiting social media usage can help prevent cyberbullying.



  • Exposure to Inappropriate Content: Social media is home to a vast amount of inappropriate content, including violent, sexually explicit, and hate speech. Exposure to this content can negatively impact the mental and emotional health of the youth. Cyber-safety measures such as filtering and parental controls can help mitigate the risks.


  • Reputation Damage: Social media content can have a significant impact on one's reputation, and the youth should be mindful of what they post online. Cyber-safety measures such as thinking before posting, limiting online sharing, and understanding the privacy settings can help protect their reputation.


  • Cybersecurity: Social media is a prime target for cyber-attacks, and the youth should be vigilant of suspicious links, emails, and messages. Cyber-safety measures such as using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and updating software can help prevent cyber-attacks.

What is meant by the term “Bill of rights” and indicate TWO reasons why discriminatory behaviour in South Africa continues despite the existence of the Bill of rights.

What is meant by the term “Bill of rights” and indicate TWO reasons why discriminatory behaviour in South Africa continues despite the existence of the Bill of rights.


A Bill of Rights is a document that outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms that every individual is entitled to. In South Africa, the Bill of Rights is enshrined in the country's constitution and sets out the basic human rights that are protected by law.


Two reasons why discriminatory behavior in South Africa continues despite the existence of the Bill of Rights are:


  • Lack of enforcement: Although the Bill of Rights guarantees certain rights and freedoms, the government may fail to enforce these rights. This can be due to a lack of political will or resources, as well as corruption and inefficiencies within the justice system. Discriminatory behavior may continue because perpetrators are not held accountable for their actions. 
Clarify why the Bill of rights provides for Section 36 which sets limits to the exercise of all the rights in South Africa.  
  • Structural inequality: Discriminatory behavior may also persist due to structural inequalities that have been inherited from South Africa's apartheid past. Despite significant progress in redressing the imbalances created by apartheid, many people still face socio-economic challenges that make them vulnerable to discrimination. For example, poverty, unemployment, and inadequate access to education and healthcare can limit opportunities and perpetuate discrimination against certain groups.
