1 INTRODUCTION
We would like to welcome you as a student of the Department of Political Sciences and trust
that you will find this module interesting and stimulating. We hope that you will be successful in
your academic endeavours and that you will continue your studies in this Department by
selecting other modules that we offer.
READ this tutorial letter as well as your copy of the study@Unisa brochure for information
concerning your studies.
The Department offers modules on a semesterised basis. This implies that there are two
periods of tuition, as well as two sets of examinations during each calendar year. The first
period runs approximately from February to May and the second period from July to October.
The examinations follow each period of study. Please note that aegrotat and supplementary
examinations will coincide with the examinations of the following semester.
THE STUDY MATERIAL FOR THIS MODULE CONSISTS OF:
This tutorial letter,
e-Reserves that must be downloaded from the Unisa Library website (see STEP 3
on pages 6 to 7 of this tutorial letter)
A study guide which can be downloaded from the APC3701 myUnisa page (see
STEP 1 on page 6 of this tutorial letter), and
A prescribed reader that will be delivered to you (see STEP 2 on page 6 of this
tutorial letter).
THE MOST IMPORTANT STUDY MATERIAL ARE THE E-RESERVE
ARTICLES. THE ASSIGNMENTS AND EXAM ARE BASED ON THESE
ARTICLES.
2 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES
2.1 Purpose
This module, which deals with the Politics of Southern Africa, consists of two options. Students
must choose either Option 1 (Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) or Option 2 (Angola,
Mozambique and Namibia).
ONLY CHOOSE OPTION 1 OR OPTION 2. DO NOT CHOOSE BOTH OPTIONS. ONCE
CHOSEN, YOU HAVE TO REMAIN WITH YOUR CHOICE OF OPTION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE MODULE. THIS MEANS YOU WILL DO TWO ASSIGNMENTS AND
WRITE AN EXAM IN LINE WITH THE OPTION CHOSEN.
Option 1: Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
The three countries that are the focus of Option 1 are former colonies of Britain. These
countries have experienced different fortunes as independent states. Botswana which started
off as a poor country is currently stable and prosperous. It retained a democratic political system
as well as a capitalist economy. Led by Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia adopted the one-party
political system and African socialism (humanism) a few years after independence. Internal and
external factors led to serious political problems which were eventually responsible for the
removal of Kaunda’s regime in 1990. Zimbabwe’s independence was welcomed and a bright
future was predicted for the country. Zimbabwe started its new life as an independent state well
and made a good impression to political observers. However, in the second decade the country
