QUESTION 1.1 [20]
Read the case study titled “The Basotho Cultural Village” and answer the
questions that follow. The Basotho cultural village, situated at the golden gate
Highlands National Park in Clarens offers a unique South African experience in
which you can learn about traditional Sotho arts and crafts and their way of life. It
consists of a rest camp that resembles an 18th-century Sotho village combined with
replica homesteads dating from the 16th century to the present day. These
showcase good examples of the mural art of the Sotho people, known as “litema”.
The replica homesteads do more than document the evolution of Sotho culture.
Visitors are also invited to taste the local beer brewed on-site, share local food,
enjoy traditional dances, meet village elders and learn how local arts and crafts are
produced. Most of the objects produced in the village are for sale, along with items
sourced from further afield in Free State province. Traditional Sotho villages
abound with crafters who work from home. They produce pottery, fabrics,
beadwork and grass hats, mats and baskets using traditional techniques and local
materials. You can arrange to visit some of these crafters, or simply buy their
products at the Basotho Cultural Village. You will also find iconic, conical Sotho
hats, called “mokorotlo”, on sale at the village. They are used to keep the sun at
bay, as well as for cultural festivals. Also, look out for traditional Sotho blankets.
Their designs and colours are significant, and blankets are worn in different ways
for different ritual purposes. Source:
1.1 Discuss 10 indirect effects of cultural tourism with reference to the case study
above. Important: Marks will not be awarded for naming the indirect effect, only
application to the case study will earn you marks.
